October has been mild in the Midwest with a beautiful array of colors. The Peak Fall Colors have rounded the corner and leaves are filling the ground as they fall. Viewing the leaves while enjoying the outdoor fishing, hunting, biking and other activities allows participants to embrace the beauty during challenging times as socially distancing is a factor.
The days are definitely shortening and nights cooling down causing the chlorophyll decline amongst the leaves creating the change of color and eventually fall to the ground.
