This is week five of the Festival of Leaves. I think it may be my last week as the leaves are falling fast. Here is a photo of our road taken at the same spot as the previous weeks. You can see that several branches are bare.
This next photo is taken of the trees at the south border of our property. The one green tree on the right is an ornamental plum whose leaves are still green.

Here in Michigan we have had probably the strongest color explosion of leaves I have ever seen outside of the famous New England colors. It almost slaps your eyes to look at them. Ours have just passed their peak and are starting to decline. I hope people wait till they’ve all fallen before starting to rake them up. I love the look of the leaf “carpet” on the ground.
Interesting to know you have had these colors too. The Indigenous people say it may forecast a harsh winter. They say the bright red signifies hope and we must have hope that spring will come.

Beautiful!! And way too soon to go away! Maybe you could give the local kids tubes of superglue and send them up there in those trees to keep the leaves on!!
