I miss the profuse red of the maples out here in the west. Ours are either planted ornamentals or so-called vine maples. Then again, saw hardly any signs of red in the recent trip to the parched SW. What did strike me as rather different was the orange and red shades on the Aspens. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them exhibit anything but bright yellow before. Hope to get around to posting some of it once I get settled back in.
