Leaf-Peeping Fall 2014

Trees men planted long ago
-They never fail to thrill;
In Spring and Summer, Autumn, too,
They set the hearts aglow,
Giving in wealth of leaf and fruit
Earth's oldest, newest show!

One of the most beautiful times of year to travel is in the fall when the leaves on the trees turn colour.

Leaf peeping is an informal term for people who travel to view and photograph the fall foliage in areas where foliage changes colors, particularly New England.[1][2] The origin of the term "leaf peeping" is not well known. A similar custom in Japan is called momijigari.

The term "Leaf Peeper" is used both with appreciation (for those businesses that benefit from the millions that pour into New England each fall) and with disdain (from those who have to use the roads that are popular with leaf peepers). Hobbyists who get together for leaf peeping commonly refer to their gatherings as Leaf Peepshows.[3]

Pictures from space show that fall is in full swing in parts of North America. Clusters of trees have shed their summer greens in favor of autumnal oranges and reds around the Great Lakes and New England. NASA's Terra satellite went leaf peeping last week from its perch about 438 miles above the planet. The Earth-watching satellite captured the fall colors spreading around the Great Lakes on Sept. 26 and New England on Sept. 27 using its Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.
