Swallow Falls area

birch, maple dominant the river back among deciduous and while good, a fair amount of leaf drop has occured, vibrance faded in some of the birch. Past peak along the river, but still nice.

From there to Cranesville

the Swamp area well past peak. There was nice color in the Swamp the last few weeks that has faded away. The hillsides have stayed subpar with a good amount of leaf drop. Over Snaggy there is some decent color and the undergrowth has some nice color.
