Some leaves remain on Japanese and Norway maples

This was the seen on my way to work today.  Some leaves remain on Japanese maple and Norway maple.

Maple and crabapple leaves have fallen, elms are yellow

The crabapples have lost their leaves, so the crabapple trees are red with fruit.  The Norway maple to the right of the spruce has lost its leaves, as have the red maples behind the Norway maple.  To the right, we can see that the elms are now yellow.  They were green when the red maples were red.

Color comes to the red maples

I have been watching the red maples.  They are brilliant this time of year. There is a row of four red maples that I walk past on my way to and from work every weekday.

A little bit of color started showing September 23.

On October 17, the two in the middle were turning red, while the two on the end still seemed green.

By October, 26, the southernmost one is yellow, and the northernmost one has a bit of red amid the green.

Still October 26, here are the two most southern of the red maples.  The green trees behind them are elms.

The two middle trees are the reddest.

The last picture from October 26 gives a good look at the red.

On October 27, it snowed:

On October 28, the snow was still around in the morning, though it melted by the end of the day.

In this picture taken later in the day on October 28, the red maples are in the background, and you can see that the elms next to them are still green.

On November 1, the southernmost tree has lost many of its leaves, and the northernmost tree, the last to turn, is finally red.

November 3: The middle two trees are brilliant.

As we saw on November 1, on November 4. the southernmost tree has lost some leaves, the northernmost tree has turned red, and the middle two trees remain brilliant.

November 6 was a Sunday, I did not take  my weekday route.  Instead, I saw this red maple:

In a view from the distance on November 7, you can see that the red maples are still red and the elms beside them are still green.

A closer view, still on November 7, shows the brilliance of the red maple that is the second from the north.

On November 9, I took this picture on the way to work. The southernmost tree is bare, but the other three are still colorful.

I took more photos of the red maples on lunch hour on November 9. These show that while the three northern trees are still colorful, the foliage is now thin enough that the sycamore behind them can be seen through the branches.

The tree that is second from the north seems to be the most colorful at this time.

The ground is covered with fallen red maple leaves.

The next three photos show that on November 10, the red maples have mostly lost their leaves. It was quite windy, and I think the wind blew a lot of leaves off the trees. Now of the four red maples, the one that is second from the north is the only one that has a significant amount of leaves.

Today's foliage

Today I saw lots of fall foliage as I drove through eastern New York and western Massachusetts.  I think the foliage was most beautiful in Stephentown, NY, especially because of the way the sun lit it up.  As we got into the Berkshire hills, many of the trees had already lost their leaves.  Then as we descended into the Pioneer Valley on the other side of the hills, the trees started having more leaves again.

I wanted to take a lot of photos in Stephentown, but I couldn't because I was driving.  Instead, I took these photos at two picnic areas where we stopped in Massachusetts.

The tree below is a sycamore.

I took these photos at the place in Williamsburg where Daisy stayed this summer.
