Fall Color Hiawatha,Iowa

Fall colors are really starting to increase with the cooler weather we have had this week. Early and Late turning trees are peaking in color and many areas have reached moderate color status. Sugar Maples & Ashes are bright and beautiful shades of orange, purple and yellow, Red Maples are red and orange and Hackberry trees are turning light yellow. Evenwhere you go at least some sort of color can be seen. Late turning trees like Aspen, Silver Maples and Oaks are mostly still green, however some are starting to show signs of turning.

I took a visit of the Mississippi River Bluffs area and fall color is abundant and starting to get bright.  I feel that over the next week or two, we will be at near peak color.
