Red at Last - #ThursdayTreeLove #blogboost

It's the fourth Thursday of the month.

Many of those who participate in Thursday Tree Love, where people post pictures of trees every second and fourth Thursday of the month, live in climes where trees do not turn color in the fall the way they do in the Northeastern United States.  They wait for our color to enjoy from afar.

I'm sorry to report we have poor color this year, at least up to now.  But here and there, the color is trying to assert itself.  Saturday, I took this picture on a rainy day, at the edge of downtown Binghamton, New York.
Elsewhere in Binghamton, I found this tree on Monday.

Perhaps the lesson of this year is "never take anything for granted".  Not even fall color.

Join Parul and other tree loving bloggers for #ThursdayTreeLove.  Today is her 50th Thursday Tree Love post - why don't you stop on by and comment with some well wishes?  And, as a bonus (as Parul says) you get to see trees that don't grow where you live.  Our world is such a beautiful place.

    Beautiful Autumn colours Alana - and a nice contrast to the greens of Spring that we're getting in Australia atm.

    With the Nor'Easter arriving this weekend, I fear our trees will never change colors. They will go from drabbish green to nude in a heartbeat. Glad you go to see the autumnal hues.

    Even if its a poor colour by usual standards, its awesome! The entire street lined by such brilliant foliage must make it difficult to concentrate on driving :-) Thanks for sharing!

    The carnival of autumn has definitely arrived. Such pretty colors prove that seeing red isn't always a bad thing.

    Love this idea for Thursday Tree Love. We lost a lot of trees during hurricane Maria last year, so we are going to do a reforestation plan to re-plant lots of trees. Thursday Tree Love is a good idea to keep the motivation going.

    Pretty red. We do get some color changes, but not to the extend that you do in the east.
