Leaves, nothing but leaves

NYC is not having a great fall. 

We had too much rain in September and October. 

The yellow trees that bloomed early lost their leaves before the other trees even got started.

 Yet, when I went to Central Park on Monday (11/13/23) I would say that about 40% of the trees were still green. 

Very odd. 

Interestingly, I see from a previous year that having a dry September/October also negatively impacts the season.

It’s like Goldilocks – not too wet/not too dry.  😉

And temperature matters too.

Because the vistas were a bit disappointing, I spent my time focusing on individual leaves and enjoying their diversity. 

There were lots to love.

 

Here are some previous blogs of Central Park in the fall…
