Not This Year

The intensity of fall colors depends on temperature and moisture. I read an interesting article about it here. This year the colors, in general, were not as bright...and some trees I love to watch went straight from green to brown.  There was some beautiful color...but not like usual.

A year ago I celebrated my ginkgo as it dropped most of its yellow leaves in one day.  Not this year. 

When I left for my trip two weeks ago it was still mostly green.  When I got back it was brown and 1/2 the leaves were down.


Some years are like that. If it happened every year it probably wouldn't be as special. Maybe next year.
