2011: A New Season

It's that time of the year again! Well, almost.

In Maine, we've experienced some unseasonably warm temperatures for several days. Indian Summer. But that's about to change.

Cooler temps this week should translate into quick color changes over the next 7-10 days. I'll update this blog with the first meaningful foliage updates for New England later this week.

My feeling about the 2011 color season is that we're in for a good show! The leaves are mostly healthy (despite some maples falling earlier than usual to a fungal infection...we had a very wet spring and summer).

Leaf drop is low. Even Hurricane Irene couldn't rattle the leaves off the trees last month, so everything looks hale and hearty. That's a VERY good sign for all of you leaf peepers going into autumn. As a photographer, I'm really excited!

Stay tuned...
