Brettski, you said you have a long wooded diveway. Here's a pic of my driveway and pond this weekend. How about a picture of your terrain? Anybody else got any good fall pond pics?
bz,
It's still a little early for good color in my neck of the woods, but that won't make much diff. on our parcel. The predominant species are Hickory, Walnut, and Cherry. They don't provide much color. We do have a decent amount of Ash for gold/yellow, but only one or two at the pondsite and few along the driveway. There is a sugar maple grove (about 1/2 ac), but it's buried in the woods. Lastly, and I am not partial to these trees, about 1/4 of the pondsite perimeter is largely populated with Black Locust. Again, no color. In fact, they are within the wetland area that will flood into the timber, hopefully killing a bunch of 'em (bitter sweet).
