Yesterday, I spied this on the back walkway. It's true! The season is ready to change around here. We were sitting, enjoying the fading afternoon sun, in our adirondacks nearby and noticed that the huge maple at the end of the driveway was still 'green' at the top. Usually, by the middle of August, we'll begin to see some 'yellow' at the peak, but not this year. The late warm weather has had an effect to at least this big beauty. Don't know where this 'red one' came from, but soon, I know, this tree will 'get busy' with color, and our Maine's blue highways will explode with out of state license plates. It's the way of the world. Ain't no stopping it!

Am still waiting for the leaves to turn red here. Am spending my first fall in Maine so I'm excited to experience/see the foliage color change.
