Fall 2014 in North Carolina

It's always a crap shoot no matter how diligently you research the progression of fall color.  Colors were expected to be at their peak this weekend in the lower elevations of the Blue Ridge Parkway and around the Brevard area, but a couple of days ago a storm blew all the prettiest leaves away, leaving the overall landscapes very muted.  Nevertheless, there is always something worth photographing - it just makes your mission a little more challenging.  Here are some of today's images: the sunrises were taken along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the rest along portions of NC64.
