It’s interesting. I called the visitors center the Thursday before last asking about the colors along the Blue Ridge Parkway; the person on the phone said, “We expect this weekend to be at peak or early next week.” I couldn’t help question, to myself, the validity of what of this person’s words. Clearly, you can see most trees in this image are naked and the colors visible are past peek. We were mildly disappointed at first, but it was a gorgeous day ~ lots of blue sky and sun. The good news is as we traveled south on the parkway…
