It has begun...

The first tree to begin changing color is the swamp maple. It will be bare before the other maple turns red. It's also the first tree to bloom in the early spring.

[Susan Wakely]

Nice colour changes.

Pretty... nice frame around the image... our trees are dropping leaves like crazy... mostly the tulip poplars.

[Phil Howcroft]

autumnal colours are appearing here too Mags

[KWind]

Looks pretty! I love how leaves change colour.

[Mags]

@kvphoto Thank you, KV! Brown leaves are falling here and the wind has been crazy today.

@phil_howcroft I'm sure they are. =)

@kwind Thank you!

[Kathy A]

Lovely colours

[Dione Giorgio]

Very nice frame full of life. Nature is astonishing, at one time they are bare and suddenly after a couple of days they are back to life.

[Mags]

[Renee Salamon]

Very pretty - I’ve not heard of this particular maple

[Mags]

@beverley365 Thank you, Beverley.

@rensala Thank you, Renee. It's native to the southeastern USA. It blooms in February and the swamps turn burgundy with their blooms.

[Corinne C]

They almost look like flowers in the tree. Beautifully presented.

[Mags]

@corinnec Thank you very much, Corinne.

[Karen]

I hope this means its starting to cool down for you a bit - we’re starting to warm up nicely, the oven is slowly but surely pre-heating.

[Mags]

@cocokinetic Thank you, Karen. Yes, it's been in the 80s this past week - not much different with the humidity though. =)
