Our bodies produce vitamin D after the skin is exposed to sunshine. But ideally your baby won't be sunbathing at all in the first six months, so he won't get enough vitamin D from the sun â even if you live in a relatively sunny place, such as Florida.
Or they should, anyway. While leaves will always change color as the amount of sunlight wanes, several weather conditions can affect how brilliant they become. High heat or drought can rob leaves of their brilliance, or make leaves drop early. Insufficient rain in September can also hurt peak color.
A lot of it depends upon weather, the types of days that we have, the types of nights we have, said Hilton. Hilton has been a naturalist for 14 years and he tells us a lot of variables affect when the leaves change, rain being one of them. We're a little over 6 inches above normal. I don't think that's enough to have any effect on leaf color, said Hilton. We learned that we are not far off of the average timing for the leaves. Hilton says that we can expect the leaves to change around the same time as last year. If I had to make an educated guess, probably about the third week in October, said Hilton. Hilton said that even if the leaves do change early, it would not affect tourism at Bays Mountain one bit. When the leaves start changing there will definitely be people coming here. So if they peak a little earlier than usual, our crowds will also come a little earlier than usual, said Hilton.
