Any fine folks fancy a fall foliage photograph?
It's the season of colorful landscapes... and apparently alliteration.
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources says Oct. 13 to 19 is the best time to take in the autumn leaves for most of the western side of the state. According to their Fall Foliage Report posted online "Pennsylvania has a longer and more varied fall foliage season than any other state in the nation - or anywhere in the world."
The DCNR credits the state's perfect combination of latitudinal location, varied topography, 134 species of trees and various shrubs and vines with creating the perfect foundation for the backdrop of natural colors. The department tracks the changing leaves week to week and posts updates and maps on its Facebook page.
The post on October 13 post said "Fall color across the commonwealth continues to build, some of which is simply breathtaking! From the Appalachians to the Alleghenies, and South Mountain to the Poconos, vibrant shades await the fall foliage enthusiast. With beautiful weather expected across the state this weekend, Pennsylvania travelers won’t need to go far to see the gorgeous colors adorning Penn’s Woods."
We snapped our picture along Route 417 between Franklin and Titusville.
