    The past several years I have posted pics of my Sugar Maple in all of it's fall glory. This year it is not as colorful or vibrant as in past years. We had a very dry August and Sept, and the trees were conserving energy. And I am sure that affected the coloring of the leves once they started to turn.

    I think your tree is just beautiful CK - no matter what colour the leaves are. The overall shape is lovely and it must be a real conversation piece.

    In past years it has had bright oranges and reds. This year it is mostly yellow.

    Very pretty Capt. Our trees are losing their leaves quickly now.

    Well, un-cooperative weather or not--it remains a beautiful tree. I look forward to seeing it every year now.

    Your maple is lovely, Capt. I like the delicate yellow tones.
