Index of Subjects Good morning, Roland, and everyone. I was aware of the regional variations in the appearance of fall colours. In fact, I discovered a website that gives periodic reports on them across the province, at: http://novascotia.com/fall/en/home/whattodo/leafwatch/default.aspx This site gives the percentage of colour change at several places across NS, but it isn't specific enough to predict what we'll see along a particular route. Of course, I was interested mainly in the narrow area of norther Nova Scotia that I described earlier, and thanks to all who responded. Cheers, Bob Lindsay Dartmouth Roland McCormick wrote: > In my experience it is not so much a case of when the colours are at > their best as it is when they are at the best in a particular area.
