It's at peak

 I left North Carolina on October 30 to visit Angela and all in Florida. The one regret I had was that the peak Fall color would be gone when I returned ten days later. I had a wonderful visit in Jacksonville, going trick-or-treating with three little boys, sharing quality time with Angela and John, catching up with Ms Rosa and of course, experiencing a Jaguars football win, and ending with some of the freshest catch in flounder and Mayport shrimp at a fish camp on the river. Darren told me that he would take some pics for me to see when I returned.

I returned on a late flight and it was dark when I landed so I couldn't see the trees. Mendy picked me up and as we headed home, she said "Daddy, the trees have just reached peak, I think they were waiting for you." I couldn't believe the color I awoke to and I was very thankful that I had made the trip and not missed the color. Here are a few shots from my neighborhood from the past couple of days. It is truly at peak color.
