We went to check out the foliage at Gibbs Gardens yesterday afternoon and was the case when we went to New England recently, the colors where not as vibrant as last year.  That is not to say that there was no beauty.  The skies were partly cloudy, however, when the sun came out the colors were very nice.

One had to be most patient, waiting for the sun to re-appear and for the people to move out of the composition, particularly those that wore bright orange or red outfits, that stood out in the background.  Linda will tell you that if you look up the word patient in the dictionary, you will not see my picture there...

The picture of the red leaves is a good example.  I waited almost 15 minutes to take this picture from the bottom side of the leaves.  They were almost black in appearance while the sky was cloudy.

The last two pictures were taken on the way to the gardens.
