A couple of trees around Bass Lake show definite signs of changing colors. On my way to Banner Elk to take flood damage photos, I noticed that the peaks of Grandfather Mtn were also showing spot color. With the crazy weather this summer, I don't have a clue as to what to expect in respect to fall foliage.
On a really bright note: Check out Liz Donovan's new photoblog Southern Highlands Cam which highlights the more Southern Appalachian region of North Carolina.
