September in North Alabama

Compared to South Alabama, well, North Alabama might as well be a New England state.  The colors and trees are much more varied and with richer colors - but still - we will have to wait until the end of October for our peak colors.  I know that because my anniversary is October 27th - and it never fails - the best colors are a about 3 days after that because we were traveling home that year from our honeymoon and the colors were at their prime.  So we've watched for that all these 31 years of marriage and it remains the same.

Here are images of North Alabama in September.

that's it.  no words.  just these images.
