Fall color

When I lived in Indiana, I got used to vibrant fall color which peaked in mid-October. So when mid-October came and went here, I was thinking: "Hmm. I guess the color is more muted here because there are more evergreen trees or whatever." (Twenty years away will make you forget these things.) All I had to do was wait 3 weeks. I took this photo today in Freedom Park. It was another gorgeous Carolina day!
