My neighborhood, two days ago

I took this photo of my neighborhood two days ago, while waiting for the light to change at lunchtime:

That is not what I expect November to look like, especially after a windstorm. I like it, though.

It is lovely. :)

Now I will picture you beneath those bright trees. :)

That looks unsettlingly like my neighborhood a few days ago, though there is more gold here because of the Norway maples. I don't believe our respective climates are really supposed to line up that way. But we both get some prettiness, and that's good.

We still have a fair amount of yellow as well; some of that is birch, and the willows are turning. (Yes, turning, at a time when I'd expect them to already be bare.)

Wow. And here in Connecticut, we had sleet and snow today.

We are, at most, only a little ahead of you - the maples are past peak, and starting to look a bit threadbare, but that's just this week. The little willow on the south side of my house is just starting to yellow.

And by now most of the maples are looking threadbare, if not actually naked; major change in a couple of days. The absurdly out-of-season rhododendrons are hanging on, though. And someone I spoke to last weekend, who has lived in Seattle a long time, was very surprised when I mentioned them, and suggested I must be in an odd microclimate.
