Some time after all the White Ash and Sugar Maple had lost their leaves, the Red Oaks are still hanging on. Two weeks ago they were a dark red-brown. And the Beech leaves are still in place, at least on the smaller trees, and will probably stay there much of the winter.
The Red Oak leaves are on a group of Oaks across the street, though some are more yellow than red. And by now they're actually mostly brown, though still on the trees.
The Beech leaves were on saplings on the Bruce Trail property I've written about the past two days, and they were just golden-orange, whether beneath your feet, around you, or overhead!

It was another incredible fall day, feeling like a warm day in late September more than November! Had to drive to Kitchener and had time, so I took some back roads and got some interesting pictures which I'll share the next few days. Looking forward to reading about all the new politicians appointed to Canada's Cabinet today. They will make such a critical difference to how this country is governed for the next few years!
Gorgeous autumn colours. I thought I was done with fall colours, but there's one here that I have to photograph in the next day or two.
ReplyDeleteLove all your photos of the light shining through the fall leaves!
ReplyDeleteAutumn shades in nature's showcase, you got the lot. Beautiful in every leaf and branch, love the shots from below and up through the branches.
ReplyDeleteNice to see your autumn colours. Over here the season began promptly and many trees promised us a fine show of colour, but then wet weather has stalled the process and while some trees have lost their leaves others have continued to be green and will stay like that till we get some overnight frosts.
ReplyDeletePretty photos. A few days of rain and wind and most of those will be off the trees. Young oak and beech tend not to form good abscission layers so many of their leaves will be on for much of the winter.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy seeing how the oak and beech leaves hang on! It makes winter walks seem a tad more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteAll our leaves are gone now too except a few hangers-on. Unseasonably warm weather everywhere it seems. I think I'm heading south in a few days it will be interesting to see if I can find any color left!

ReplyDeleteI am going to miss the leaves in all their glory and colour
ReplyDeleteOur beech are like thin leather and truly nice to watch as they dry.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos ! Yes it got up to 21C felt like 25C here in the valley today and it was humid. Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteAwesome colors! Been enjoying your blog daily.
ReplyDeleteI really do like the orange and rust leaves that are left on the trees right now. They certainly brighten up the landscape.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of your Fall colors:)
ReplyDeleteWhen the leaves are on the trees identification is fairly straightforward. This winter I am determined to become much more proficient by using bark only to nail down the species.
