Autumn Colors are changing fast: Wow, the colors are getting so incredibly brilliant…of course we could see them better if it would stop raining! I am hoping to get out to photograph them this weekend. Our class field trip to Ordway Grove is this coming Friday, and again on Tuesday, so hopefully I will get some nice photos on Lake Pennesseewassee, as well as on Caesar Pond. “Good moisture conditions allowed trees to be photosynthetically efficient and active a little later into the fall,” said Bill Ostrofsky, a forest pathologist with the Maine Forest Service. “A few cold nights and the change in day length made the colors develop more rapidly than usual.” I must say that here in Bowdoin, we are usually hitting peak color several weeks later in the season. I feel a bit rushed this year.
