Leaf peeping in Howard County, MD


Fall Beauties in Howard County, MD

I drive by these majestic trees a few times each week. During the last couple of weeks or so I've been watching the changes .. from the Summer greens to the first subtle hints of yellow to its full Fall glory. How absolutely beautiful!

I've made a note to document the changes next year, it's just such a spectacular sight to see.

Relocating to Maryland or PCS'ing to Walter Reed or Fort Meade? That is just one of the many things you get to look forward to - a beautifully colored Maryland in the Fall!


P.S.: Except for adding a frame, this picture is completely unedited.. no boost of color or adjustment of exposure.. just nature at its finest.

Andrea... I was out today taking photos of the Hudson Valley as the colors are amazing! and no editing necessary... the bright orange and yellows and reds... it is a magestic time of year. When I  lived in Chevy Chase.. I always loved Rock Creek Park.. color everywhere! Love the PHOTO!!

Andrea:  Ahhh... the beauty of the changing of the seasons is so exquisite in Maryland.  The tree in your post above is just gorgeous.  Sometimes it's almost like I could just sit in a chair, sipping some tea, and "watch" the leaves change colors.  What a calming effect all this beauty has on the human soul.

As you can tell... I miss Maryland.

Hi Janis, when I lived in New Hampshire I was convinced that there can't possibly be a more beautiful Fall. Now I'm thinking Maryland comes pretty darn close!

Rock Creek Park, Patapsco Valley State Park (free admission for Military), Centennial Lake are all great places to go leaf peeping in Montgomery & Howard County.

Looking forward to your pictures!

Hi Ms. Karen Anne, it's been spectacular watching the changes, each day the yellow and orange had spread out a bit more. I'm a little bummed out that I only thought I should document the changes vs. actually doing it ... next year though, next year.

I think you should plan a visit to Maryland!

Hi Andrea, they sure do change quickly and before you know it the beauty of the color changes to the beauty of the barren branches. Taking the time to capture this beauty was worth it! Gorgous picture of Howard County in the fall.

Andrea, you all are ahead of us on the leaves.  I think we probably have another two weeks.  That would be our norm, but last year it was late November before we fully turned.

Andrea, one of the things I miss the most about living back "east" - the changing and beautiful fall colors.  Thank you for a great photo.

Hi John, I just saw your picture of the spectacular sunset! Those were some amazing colors, too.

Hi Margaret, I couldn't agree more! I'm in awe every year and could spend days just driving around marveling at the beauty.

Hi Cindy, barren branches can look stunning, too, just as long as they are not topped with inches of ice! :-)

Hi Mike, we are still very mixed 'up' here - some areas are still very much green and then you turn a couple corners and it's all yellow, orange and red!

Hi Juli, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! Fall is just stunning around here.

I love the fall color changes here in Boise too, but I've been to the east coast in the fall, and so many trees and such beautiful colors! I hope all is well Andrea! -Kasey

Hi William, thank you so much! I was hoping to capture the vibrance of the colors w/out having to give it a boost.

Hi Tony, thank you!

Hi Kasey, where have you been? :-) The colors are just stunning in the Fall .. I'm a Fall "Baby" and love all about it.

Hi Silvia, I love the Fall colors and have brought them indoors .. hues of yellow, orange and red - all throughout my house.

Andrea, thanks for giving me my Fall color treat!  That is the thing I miss most living in Texas.  Midwest Fall colors are gorgeous.

Hi Andrea,

Beautiful fall colors. This photo have me blushing because I think fall is the most beautiful time of the year, it represents slowing down a bit, new beginnings and reading books by the fireplace with a cup of coffee.

Hi Sharon, you are very welcome! :-) I'm so lucky that I can get my fall-color-fix by just looking out my window. These are mid-Atlantic colors though but I'm sure Midwest ones are gorgeous, too.

Hi Wandanna, yes, that is a beautiful visual and I'm so looking forward to jus that. But it also reminds me, we still have to get our annual fireplace inspection!!

Andrea, aren't these maples?  I love those wildly bold yellows...and oranges...and reds!  Our colors are still beautiful but beginning to fade in some areas.  Opens up a different beauty though.
