Special Report: New England

Cambridge (11/8/18) Crys Black

While California and the west have experienced exceptional color this autumn, it was disappointing in the northeast.

One of the warmest summers on record, one that extended into October and that kept nights warm, was credited for delaying color development across New England. Trees remained green into October. 

Then, it rained as temperatures cooled, ruining the leaves.

California color spotter Crys Black enjoyed a trip to beantown this week and sent back these snaps of New England’s trees carrying Peak to Past Peak color.

Though the show was not New England’s typical brilliant scarlet, gold, gamboge and orange, its somber tones of marroon, burnt umber, auburn and feuille morte have a deadened dignity that remains beautiful, particularly in the soft glow of twilight. 

  • New England – Peak to Past Peak, YOU ALMOST MISSED IT.
