Fall Foliage

by Trish Leavy

In the autumn, before winter arrives, the leaves tend to turn colors and start to fall off the trees. It is at this time when fall foliage can be seen around the nation. Fall foliage is a beautiful thing to see in the months of autumn. The New England area has gorgeous foliage in the fall which is famous throughout the country. Every part of the nation has some sort of fall foliage as it is the regular yearly cycle for a tree for its leaves to change colors and then fall off.

There are many trips that can be taken around the nation to see this spectacular annual event. The best part of the United States to look at gorgeous fall foliage is the New England area. The states of Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts all have beautiful autumn foliage once autumn comes around. There are many specific tours in each of these states, and others, which you can experience the beauty of fall foliage. The south is also breathtaking as the trees go through their yearly cycle. The south is not as well known as the New England fall foliage but it is just as beautiful. In particular Alabama is known for its gorgeous foliage once autumn comes around.

Anywhere in the nation where there are an abundance of trees will become a work of art during October and November. The leaves can be in many different colors from moss green to a beautiful shade of orange. It all depends on the time of year, where you are in the United States, and what type of tree it is.

Many people consider fall in New York City to be the best time of year because of the natural colors leaping from the landscape in Manhattan. Central Park has so many trees that once autumn comes the park is filled with fall foliage in a wide variety of colors. It is a great “walk in the park” to leave the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple and take a stroll through Central Park looking at all the gorgeous fall foliage on the ground or still on the trees. This is one of the largest tourist attractions of New York City as millions come to the city each year to see the fall colors in Central Park.

Although most people will claim that they prefer the spring and summer months, nothing can compare to the beauty of watching the leaves turn color and fall gracefully to the ground. If you have your own yard you need not go far to see how spectacular autumn really can be.
