The trees are changing slowly, they are maybe 30% colorful. I am not convinced that this year will be a wonderful showing of fall color.
The new passing lane over by Snellman, whatever they planted came up real green and inviting for deer on the left.
In town the other day a few trees were changing.
The trees were in bud when they started this road improvement project. Sometimes the wheels of progress turn slowly.
Still no real colour here, just Ash leaves tuening brown and falling.
ReplyDeleteSome of our trees were so stressed from our drought that they just turned brown and fell off. But there are plenty of others that are taking up the season's colors. And yes, sometimes the wheels of progress fall off. :-)
ReplyDeleteColoring up seems early here, but as DJan mentioned, the extended summer drought made everything so tired, the trees seem to be wanting to just give up early this year. Color usually takes its time here - throught the whole month of October.
ReplyDeleteI like the reds you get there. Why does road work always take so long?
ReplyDeleteWe have some trees fully changed and some haven't even started . I guess mother nature will all sort her self out soon of this . Lovely photos . Thanks for sharing , Have a good day eh ? !
ReplyDeleteWe're getting color in our mountains right now, and just a bit here in the lowlands. It's about a month early this year.
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been so fickle around here. If it is anything like that where you are--first, it's fall, then, oops, it's summer again--it's no wonder the trees are unsure whether to show their true colors. Maybe later, when the fall weather is here for sure!
ReplyDeleteThere's been a lot of road work done around here this summer too. There's an elementary school a couple of blocks away and the road work in front of the school began the week school started. Needless to say there were long lines of frustrated parents waiting to drop off their kids.
ReplyDeleteI love it when the trees turn! We're having a warm spell, so there are only a few yellow leaves...
ReplyDeleteWe aren't going to have great colors either - too dry. Even in Oregon they were turning early but went yellow to brown. Oh well will take the little splashes where we can.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think they'd move quicker on the road work since we only have the two seasons--winter and road work. And winter lasts a heck of a lot longer==LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty from here...it's October before the "peak" arrives here. I just want cooler temps. 60's are perfect!
