Fall Foliage All Most Over

The foliage this year in Middletown Connecticut has been a little disappointing.  Normally the trees are full of vibrant red, orange, and yellow colors, but this year in Middletown, Connecticut the colors have not been what they have been in the past.  We did get a lot of rain this Summer and Fall so maybe that is the reason.  All the rain was great for keeping our lawns green, but apparently that is not good for Fall colors.

Many of the leaves have already fallen, but there are a couple of areas that the trees still seem to be making an effort to at least put on a little bit of the display that we look forward to.  The picture above is of Dooley Pond in Middletown right off of RT 17.  These trees are peaking right about now, and maybe it is because they have the water in the foreground that makes them seem to display a little more color than the rest.  Whatever the reason, I enjoyed the view so I took a picture of it to share.

Hopefully the vibrant colors that we look forward to at this time of the year will return again next year, but for now it is time to start taking out the rakes and start raking. J

Hi George.  If this photograph is a little "disappointing",  I can't imagine what it usually look like at this time of year.

George, it is very sad isn't it? We are so spoiled I guess... ah well, it's still pretty, just not breathtaking, LOL. We are used to some amazing eye candy in the fall....

George, it's a little different out here in CA. Fall colors not so much. When the rain starts in November, everything gets green again! Trees that normally drop their leaves do so because of the change in amount of daytime light. I guess you gotta enjoy your color while you can.

George - we have had so much rain that we seem to be missing the fall colors.. Actually leaves are still on the trees... I think we will have a huge clean up in the spring because by the time the leaves fall, it will start to snow!  :)

George too much rain, this is problem the less colorful fall I have seen in a while many of the leaves came down prematurely.

This is a lovely shot, I too like taking the shots along the river bank.

George, Coming into Bradley on a plane, a few weeks ago, the leaves that shown the brightest, were those that were more North in the state.  More than half of ours, here in Bolton, Ct, are gone.  You're right, the rain and wind, is removing our beautiful fall color show, very quickly.  Hoping that this is not sign of some kind, like snow, for winter weather

George - I was just out at my Mom's in PA and I was kinda disappointed in the leaf colors as well.

George, beautiful photo.  I just talked to a buddy of mine in Chicago and most of the colors are gone there as well.
