Fall color is so spectacular in Pittsburgh this week that many of us have been snapping pictures everywhere we go. Here are just a few of the colorful leaves and trees I’ve seen in town.

Pawpaw leaves are turning bright yellow in Schenley Park while Virginia creeper is red along the Three Rivers Heritage bike trail at Herrs Island.

Sunlight reflecting on the water made rippling lights in the trees on 22 October. It was so warm you can hear crickets.

Yesterday in Schenley Park the trees were yellow or red depending on species.

Not to be outdone by autumn leaves, the sky turned orange at sunrise on Saturday.

Sunrise is after 7am now. We’ll “fix” that next weekend when we turn the clocks back.

  1. Hi Kate! It is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing. That video is ever so cool! I hope all is well. Thank you for your daily posts. They brighten my day my friend. Have a wonderful fall weekend.

  2. So many orange colored trees this year, not red, not yellow, not bronze. Like pumpkin lollipops. A spectacular color.
