We were in the mood to see some fall colors today. Most of our trees are not at their color peak yet, but wind and rain already have taken a toll on leaves and we’re never sure that we shall have a peak.
As usual, we visited this majestic red maple that has outgrown the North Sedgwick Baptist Church; it has been a favorite fall sight for a long time. (We haven’t been able to find reliable information about the tree’s age. Perhaps one of you knows its age. We do know that the Church was built in 1843 and red maples (Acer rubrum) have been known to live more than 300 years.)
Among other places, we also visited the blueberry fields down the road from the Church.:
