Fall
is such a lovely, heartwarming time of year.
What natural beauty bestows the countryside as Fall comes
to season. Leaves begin to change colour in rustic shades of brown, orange
and red.
Tourists and travellers to the prime colour regions (Northern
Ontario, New England, Michigan, and Wisconsin) enjoy a display of the formerly
green leaves turning to brilliant shades of yellow, orange, and red. The right
combination of tree species and likely weather conditions produce the most
spectacular displays in these regions.
Provinces / States in these regions maintain a fall foliage
"hotline," keeping colour watchers appraised of the peak viewing
locations and times.
