Nice day, was worth a walk, and having the cell phone with me, snapped this photo at Forest Hill Park, for a change did not have overtime, and got out to enjoy the neighborhood, and see some sights of fall in Richmond. Colors are starting to appear, saw a few trees in the midst of changing from green to a blaze of colors. Peak is still quite a few days away, but the signs are there. You can also certainly feel it...it was in the 60's as I wandered the streets around Forest Hill Ave and past some of the fine houses to be found around here. I love walking in the area, always interesting things to see.
A church near here is having a fall festival, and this is a sure sign of fall. Enjoyed seeing these, and looking forward to even more in what is one of my favorite times of the year. Of course the Richmond Folk Festival is this weekend; that would be a really fun event with some great music, and they have some very interesting events this year at the fun and free event. As would figure, I will not be in town for it, though for a different fall event in North Carolina there is a NASCAR race in Concord, NC this weekend, and of course footballs will be in the air ..though not at Bank of America the Panthers have a bye week.
I was reading this morning on the Charlotte Observer web site that Fall colors are near peak in the mountains near Boone, NC (a beautiful place to visit) as well as some other areas in the mountains of NC. Have not checked in the Virginia mountains, but they can not be far behind. I hope to bring some fall leaf photos here, will certainly have my eyes open for that. Love the colors and the feel of fall.
Hope everyone has a good day and a great weekend. Looking forward to some fun adventures and great times over the next few days!
