Travel Haiku - Flaming Foliage Festival, Pennsylvania

Flaming Foliage Festival our excitement rises with the colours of the season Flaming Foliage Festival the girl dyes her hair scarlet red for the fall queen contest More than half of Pennsylvania, which is Latin for 'Penn's woods, ' is covered by forests. In fall, red maples flare with vibrant scarlet; sugar maples brighten with yellow and orange; and white oaks' leaves turn wine-red—all against a backdropp of evergreens including the eastern hemlock, the state tree. Visit in time for the Flaming Foliage Festival in Renovo, always held the second full weekend in October. Enjoy a parade and delicious fall treats and crafts from local vendors, and then watch the crowning of a new fall queen. john tiong chunghoo

Oh, Pennsylvania in these pics is soooo beautiful. I have never been there, but would love to visit, starting with all the American historical sites in Philly, then go out into the countryside, including Berks county, where my maternal ancestors first settled before the AR!
