Fall Foliage With TR27: Preseason 4

Preseason (Update) 4

1 month to fall (+ foliage pics!)

08.22.25

Today marks 1 month until the official start of fall and though it was more summery today (high of 84.6°F/29.2°C) with lots of sunshine and warmer temps, today's sunshine allowed me to get pics of the trees, and they're already starting to change, the early ones anyways.

Already lots of leaf drop, but these are from the trees that started changing about a month ago.

This bush is starting to change colors!

Probably the best looking fall foliage until we get to September!

Maybe this is the best?

The mountain is still entirely dark green/height of summer (my terminology), so the changing colors in my area are early changers. We're clearly still in summer mode, except for whatever August 20 was! 😂

Over here is still dark green. Nothing, yet...

As you can see, early fall foliage is starting to appear in my neighborhood, but it is still incredibly early and most trees haven't changed yet.

However, today marks 1 month until the official start of fall, but some of these plants and trees have already started the transition a month early! I'm starting to realize that August is really when we start seeing colorful leaves, not really September. We get this mishmash in the 2nd half of July, August and pretty much all of September before the true changes begin around the equinox if not in early October. Most of September is solidly summer, both in terms of leaf color and the weather itself.

It's a great sight to see, but it's definitely early! At least I thought it was early... 😂
