Almost There

This is a picture of my neighbors Japanese Maple. The brilliant red is almost there. The small maple in front of it is mine and you can see how the leaves will look soon.

It looks like most of the trees in Stamford are at peak color of even past. I have a maple tree that is dropping leaves like crazy. I clean up the leaves and three hours later it looks the same.

However, if you want to see some beautiful green, look for moss.    

Here is a picture from Scalzi Park. I love the texture of the moss.

This has been a great year for moss. I see it everywhere when I walk. Even the cracks in sidewalks have beautiful green moss in them.
