This autumn has been rather unusual but turned out very beautiful! Due to the amount of unusually warm tropical-like weather this autumn, many people worried that colors wouldn’t be as vibrant as normal. Although the color change started much later than normal (about a month late), the end result did not disappoint, especially in the Piedmont.
Enjoy my newest gallery and video from this year’s autumn in NC!
