leaf report

[PILOON]

North of Montreal we are full of color at this time.
Yellow is predominant wherever birch is dense but lots of reds as well.
Very pretty.

The black gums (or tupelos) are always the first to turn color and drop. They turn red very briefly, then fall. Now the red maples and red oaks are starting to drop. I don't see much color; the leaves seem to be just drying up, turning black/brown and dropping right away.

Our colors are likely at there max here on the south shore of da BIG lake Superior. Here is some photos taken this weekend. We are clearing trails as seen in them. I should add that some tree species have dropped them.

My aspens at the cabin were in their peak around the 2nd and 3rd week of September. Now there all on the ground. This is at 9500ft.

Down here at the ranch, the trees are turned and the leaves will be down in a few weeks.

We get fall a lot earlier than others...

I wonder if the lack of color is because it has been a wet year. This has been a wet year for us and most trees go directly from green/brown then drop.
