Almost autumn
I know... misleading headline... Of course it's already fall, and it has been, according to the calendar, for more than a month. But, as everyone around my trekking route knows all too well, it neither feels nor looks like autumn, a pair of hard frosts and an adequate bird migration notwithstanding. In years past, the trees would be mostly bare, the foliage-color season having peaked a week or more ago. Climate change, however, is now taking an obvious toll on leaf-peeping predictions, and, with the exception of a few hard-wired Swamp Maples, now fully abscized, the hardwood leaves are mostly green and show scant signs of changing. This is all disconcerting, but there's nothing an observer can do save ponder and document.
