Fall Has arrived in Connecticut, which means it is time for me to begin my Progression Of Fall Colors series I started Ten years ago. This is a series I hoped to continue for many years, and have been able to do so far. The first two years the pictures were of a farm which is only about a minute walk from my house. Eight years ago I decided to change the location for the 2014 Progression Of Fall Color Series to a lake about 5 minutes from my house on RT17. I tried that location for two years, but the colors were not as good as I expected them to be. So six years ago I decided to change locations again to a site at Lyman's Orchards in Middlefield, CT. But once again that site did not produce the colors I had hoped for, so three year ago I decided to keep it simple and do my Progression of Fall Colors blog in my back yard.
This year I have decided to change locations once again, and I have chosen a very small farm that is about 3 miles from my house. I drive by this site several time during the week, and I notice last year that the color of the trees at this location were among the best colors in town, so I am hoping they are again this year.
The first picture for this year's Progression Of Fall Colors series was taken Wednesday just as the colors are starting to change. So when I post my next blog next week I expect that the color change will be more noticeable. As I have done for the last Ten years, I will post pictures of this same spot at different points throughout the Fall to show the progression of the Fall colors.
Fall is a beautiful time of the year in New England, and even though last couple of years were better than the previous years, they still have not had the pop I am looking for. I have become spoiled by the beautiful colors we normally see during the Fall, so I am hoping this year the colors are truly outstanding. My favorite colors are the trees with yellow, orange, and rust color leafs when they blend together.
Anyone planning to come to New England to enjoy our Fall colors at their peak, should plan on coming between the last two weeks in October to the beginning of November. It is still to early to get a feel for what the colors will be like this year, but I will be trying to show the progression of the trees as they turn colors throughout the Fall.
Fall Has Arrived In Middletown, Connecticut and I hope you follow my series of the change in Fall colors starting with this First Blog Of The 2022 Progression Of Fall Colors In Middletown, CT.
