Second Blog Of The 2024 Progression Of Fall Colors In Middletown, CT.

Fall Has arrived once again in Connecticut, which means it is time for me to begin my Progression Of Fall Colors series I started twelve years ago.  This is a series I hoped to continue for many years, and have been able to do so far, however, this year I have started maybe a week to late.

The first two years of this series, the pictures were of a farm which is only about a minute walk from my house.  Ten years ago I decided to change the location for the 2014 Progression Of Fall Color Series to a lake about 5 minutes from my house on RT17.  I tried that location for two years, but the colors were not as good as I expected them to be.  So eight years ago I decided to change locations again to a site at Lyman's Orchards in Middlefield, CT.  But once again that site did not produce the colors I had hoped for, so four year ago I decided to keep it simple and do my Progression of Fall Colors blog in my back yard.   Then two year ago I decided to change locations again, but even though the colors were good, it was not what I expected.  So last year decided to do my progression of Fall colors once again of my backyard again.  The colors in the past have been good in this location, and I hope we have great Fall colors again this year.

The first picture below for this year's Progression Of Fall Colors series was taken two weeks ago just as the colors were starting to change.  I usually try to take the first picture before the colors start to change, but I was a little late this year.  So the colors have already started to change a little in this first picture.  The second picture below and in the feature photo above, were taken last week.  As you can see there is already noticeable change from one week to the other.  The leaves seem to be turning color a little faster than normal, so by my third blog hopefully there will be a little more color, as well as the colors being more vivid.  As I have done for the last twelve years, I will post pictures of this same spot at different points throughout the Fall to show the progression of the Fall colors. 

Fall is a beautiful time of the year in New England, and even though the last couple of years have been better than the some of the earlier years of this series, they still have not had the pop I have been looking for.  I have become spoiled by the beautiful colors we normally see during the Fall, so I am hoping this year the colors are truly outstanding.  My favorite colors are the trees with yellow, orange, and rust color leafs when they blend together.  

Anyone planning to come to New England to enjoy our Fall colors at their peak, should plan on coming between the last two weeks in October to the beginning of November.  It is still to early to get a feel for what the colors will be like this year, but I will be trying to show the progression of the trees as they turn colors throughout the Fall. 

Fall Has Arrived In Middletown, Connecticut and I hope you follow my series of the change in Fall colors starting with this First Blog Of The 2023 Progression Of Fall Colors In Middletown, CT.

It's amazing how quickly the colors change, George.  We still haven't begun to turn colors here in Sacramento.

I love this time of year, the fall colors can be gorgeous. I'm heading home to Canada Tuesday and I've heard the colors are amazing this year.

I like that you take the pictures in your own back yard - some years the colors are better than others because we got too much rain or we didn't get enough.... It is fun to compare not just week to week but year to year - How far are you from New Canaan?

George Souto  always enjoy your progressions and wish you would keep it longer... maybe Winter progression to Spring? Just trying to inspire you, and always enjoyed the posts as you switched them from one place to another, Endre

Good morning George. We have left the concrete jungle of downtown Chicago to a town referred to as "Exurbia" which is beyond the suburban ring around Chicago. We now can see the fall color and their progression, yet still not as beautiful as yours. Thanks! Enjoy your day.

Hi George, thanks for sharing your pics of the fall colors in Conn. Having traveled through Conn. to get to Boston to visit family over the years, I've seen what Conn. offers in vibrant colors.

George Souto  i am late your post although I follow you this did not show up in my roll. The next one should be more vibrant as the leaves in Philly are colorful as we have not had any rain. Your pictures here were posted on the 13th and I am viewing them on the 18th so I would think  the 3rd pictures will be showing soon . I will keep checking

There is not much color in the trees yet in my area. Soon there may be some yellow leaves and then they will fall to the ground.
