It's my eleventh year of sharing weekly photos of the view outside my window with fall foliage fanatics around the globe, so I'm a wee bit embarassed to admit: The season snuck up on me this year! At dinner the other night, my six-year-old daughter said, "Mommy--what are those orange lights?" as she gazed out the window into our yard. "Ack!" was my response, since those orange flickers were actually the first fall leaves in our view. (Can you spot them in this image?) Admittedly, the scene is still very green here in central Connecticut, but a few trees always seem to show off prematurely, giving us a sneak preview of the psychedelic pageant that will unfold in the weeks ahead. The abundant rain New England received in June and July has left trees healthy and leaves lush, so we're in for quite a show this year.
