fall leaf color is late here too. my trees here are 45- 50 years old. the sweet gum in the back was very severly pruned back by the electric company last fall, it might not make another year, sigh. this year instead of being brilliant orange, it's soft yellow. the sugar maple in the front is now orangy red. both trees are still 2/3 full. some most on the street are red, orange and yellow. i love how it looks. tired of the raking, but i love my trees. a decaf spanish coffee for me. i love fall. lady, come sit next to me, i can rub your ears...
