FALL FOLIAGE UPDATES

These pictures were taken November 9, 2011 It is November 9th, as you can see  the colors have  turned quite a bit. There are still some green trees out there.  These pictures were taken near my home in the Kiamichi Mountains near Talihina and the Talimena National Scenic Byway.  As I was traveling into work this morning the trees were just beautiful.  The Hickory and Maples are putting on quite a show.   I think the color will hold  into next weekend.  I listened to the weather this morning and it is supposed to be pretty this weekend with a chance of rain Monday and Tuesday. .   Go to our Fall Foliage Updates page to see  last years photos of our beautiful fall foliage.
