SamKat: Peak fall foliage in 48 states -Beautiful! Thx Sarah R and Keith B!

Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

For Christian American readers of this blog:

I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!

A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

America is always beautiful, but especially so in autumn when fall foliage is reaching peak colors. All sorts of people and sites make prediction for when the colors will be the best, but here are the peak fall foliage dates for the 48 contiguous states, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.

Sweet home Alabama fall color trails: “As the greens of summer surrender to glittering yellow poplars, scarlet dogwoods, orange maples and golden hickories, Alabama unfolds its patchwork quilt of color. This blend of brilliant autumn foliage, coupled with cooler temperatures and an occasional gentle breeze, makes for an unforgettable experience.” The Farmers’ Almanac predicts the most probable 2013 peak colors in Alabama will be from Oct. 19 – Nov. 4. This shot is of a group of paddleboarders passing in front of bright fall foliage at Oak Mountain State Park in Birmingham, Alabama.

The peak foliage dates for Arkansas were divided into two parts: Overall the dates are Oct. 19 – Nov. 4, but the Arkansas Ozarks are predicted to peak between Oct. 12 – 28. Although there were many gorgeous fall photos, this one won out in our opinion due to the capture as well as the 300–year–oldlegend that goes along with Petit Jean State Park Cedar Falls. Petit Jean was a French girl who disguised herself as a boy so she could secretly accompany her sweetheart, an early explorer, to the New World and to this Arkansas mountain.
