These 3 trees fascinate me. I've photographed and written about them before. They stand on Viewmont Avenue and I probably drive by them once a day. They are the first trees to turn red and lose their leaves in the fall, very early fall I might add when surrounding trees are in full green.
These photos taken in late June at the official start of summer already show the first hint of red.
Their timetable is unique and stands in opposition to the warm and sunny days of the season. It will take at least two more months for the red leaves to populate all the branches and for the wind to blow the tree bare. But that it starts so early is what fascinates me. What's going on here?
