Fall in upstate New York begins with beautiful yellows and reds. But, towards the end of fall, brown becomes beautiful, especially in one of our rare sunny days.
In downtown Binghamton, New York, trees clothed in brown glowed in noon sunlight last Friday. The short tree in front is a magnolia, famous for its beautiful large pink white flowers in April.
This is what the blooms look like.
It has been an amazing fall. Most trees have lost their leaves but some trees are only now beginning to turn color. This will be the latest (my spouse has tracked this for years) we will see green leaves in the 30 plus years we've lived in this area.

Climate change has so scrambled everything up here. I hope good fall color is not a thing of the past.
DeleteI love the fall colour palette of the nature and US I believe has some spectacular fall foliage. The magnolia blooms look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMany areas of our country do experience lovely fall color - but climate change is having an impact - not necessarily a positive one.
DeleteI still have my backyard trees (I can see them all from the window beside me) replete with green (and a few yellow-tinged) leaves.
ReplyDeleteEvery year, things get odder and odder. The Bradford pears in our area still have green leaves.
DeleteYou are right, the trees are still beautiful in brown! It seems things have stayed green longer down here in Texas as well. Taking a break from Thanksgiving cooking for a moment. Hope yours is happy and blessed!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.
DeleteWe have Fall color very late here. Usually lots of trees are bare. our deep winter color is gray.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a weird fall, hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteHappy thanksgiving:) happy to be connected through tree love, the bloomed magnolia looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good Thanksgiving, Alana. Like all of your trees, this one again is a gorgeous one. And 30 years before the leaves show up? Wow! That's a long time!
ReplyDeleteThe next Tree Love will be love on Dec 14. I would be very happy if you can join!
Wonderful colours! Beautiful magnolias too! Belated greetings for Thanksgiving :)
ReplyDeleteTrees look beautiful in every season. Whether they have new leaves or old leaves during fall.
