This year’s autumn has to be one of the very best. Day after day, spectacular color that shifts a bit from one tree to another but doesn’t diminish. This has been going on for what, two weeks? Maybe more? Astounding!

I was on my way back up the mountain after yoga this morning, and I had to stop to get a picture of this stunning tree. A Red Maple (Acer rubrum) at the peak of the leaf color season.
Yum.

Dappled sunlight reaching down through the leaves. Reds and greens being spotlighted. Red Maple (Acer rubrum) just beginning to add scarlet to the landscape.
Red Maple trees are incredibly common in eastern North America, and can easily be found from Newfoundland and Manitoba in Canada, down to Florida and Texas in its native range.
They are certainly abundant up here. Providing many splashes of red, yellow, and orange in the woods.

Trekking in Shenandoah National Park today. A short distance from my cabin’s front door. A location that calls to me, no matter the season. Perhaps the most spectacular, autumn. Breathtaking colors. All the warm colors that exist were on display among the trees.
