First Frost of the Season!




Last night brought the season's first frost with temps in the upper 20s. The day quickly warmed into a lovely indian summer day. An afternoon hike along the park's Mace Trail revelaed plenty of autumn color, whether you were looking on a micro or a macro scale, as illustrated by the photos. The berries are from a threeleaf sumac bush (sometimes called skunkbrush).
