Some Color


The dry summer and wet September apparently wasn't to good for producing leaf color, but this was certainly a nice weekend.


The paw paws (Asimina triloba) along the river have turned a bright yellow.  Elsewhere along the Potomac this is a good time to find paw paw stands to go back next September to collect the very fragile fruit.  My trees are still too young.  Typically fruits begin appearing when the tree is between 3 and 4 inches in diameter.


There's an adult Bald eagle somewhere in the picture above on the left with the blue sky.  We see lots of eagles, but never seem to have a camera ready.
