Brilliance Of Fall On Mountainsides Draws Lensmen j
In the mountains of Western
North Carolina,- the change of sea
sons Is a glorious thing! Spring
comes tripping gently in, a blossom
at a time and swings slowly into
summer, but the fall bursts forth
with a suddenness and brilliance
that overnight (it seems) flings col
or in a dozen different hues from
the peaks to the valley floor.
In mid-October, when the lush
green of the trees is just beginning
to fade and summer is pausing
briefly to catch Its final breath, the
forests become a tapestry of reds,
yellows, and deep mahogany. Set
against a background of evergreen <
are the flame red of the sourwood <
and maples, the yellow of the tulip I
poplars, the gold of the beech
woods, and the scarlet and bronze ,
of the oaks. Intermingled are the '
brilliant sparkling reds of the ash
berry bushes. At ground level are j
asters, goldenrods, and other fall j
flowers. The Milsidos sparkle and (
shimmer in the backlight of the <
warm fall sunlight.
This is a land naturally scenic, 1
naturally photogenic, so when the 1
flaming colors burst forth, they 11
iraw the photographers like a pot
>f honey draws the Great Smoky
>ears.
