Green in NJ.

10-14-16 SHORT HILLS: Most of the leaves here are still on the trees and still green. The shadows are deeper and longer as the Northern Hemisphere turns away from the sun. Rain here is adequate, and the sprinklers have been off for a few weeks. In Vermont and northern New England things remain very dry.

I have found several seedling trees in the yard, oak, beech, sycamore, which I will transplant to the area where the diseased ash trees came down. It’s not such a big job as the tallest is one foot.

Here are some more VT pix.


Bird ID needed. I'm guessing Northern Parula Warbler, immature or female. Male birds in full, mating regalia are pretty easy to ID, but not in off-season or immature. Anybody??

Another pic of the heron checking out the pond from above, or looking for a tree frog?

More color...

You can see fully developed color, developing color and some trees still green all at the same time.
