The fall color report on Travel Wisconsin has had a tantalizing photograph on its gallery from last year. So, I decided to head down to figure out what some of the buttons on the new camera does and how to use them before I need to use them. So, a trip to Pewit’s Nest was in order.
Fall in Japan
November 18, 2007 Fall Colors No comments japan
Late November appears to be the time for fall colors in Japan. In the subway/train train stations, there are posters showing where the fall colors are and how much it costs to go there.
Visiting Kyoto with family, the Japanese maples were turning color in vibrant reds and oranges. Along the roads that tourists walk, the shops are decorated with leaves.
Walking back to the train station, the night was brisk – excellent conditions for fall colors.

This year I’ve headed out to Wisconsin for fall colors. The Sierras where set up to be disappointing this year early on. Last winter had a low snowfall and the summer was hot. One photographer in the Sierras in April commented that the snow pack was something that more resembled July’s. As such, the trees were rather stressed this year and started changing early. Some sites changing as early as late August. To top that off, in mid september there was some snow.
