Fall Color at Shevlin Park

Just as soon as we got back from our trip to Italy, Ann and I went to Shevlin Park to see how much color the larches had taken on. Realistically, the color will be better closer to the first of November, but it was a fun day to take a short walk. The larches had taken on more color than I expected, given the state of those that we saw in Südtirol which were still absolutely green.

These photos are pretty rough in that my camera, unbeknownst to me, was stuck on 6400 ISO so all are grainy. I suppose if I were going for an impressionist look, it would be OK.
