Final Fall Foliage — pat morss

Some photos of how late fall is playing out.

Even the largest leaves displayed some color before curling up for the winter.
Milkweed plants grew their season ending seed pods.
When ready, the pods opened to expose the seeds.
Their floss fluffed above each seed, and waited for the wind.
Which carried them away for propogation.
This tree was determined to keep “red” alive until the end.
We walked by a single, tiny, last rose for most of a month.
The invasive phragmite looked delicate in the backlit sun.
Foliage tempered by the ocean was the last to turn.
Yellow was the color of choice for most maples, with trunks dressed in ivy.
A little snow added a white accent to fallen wet leaves.
Snow made frosting on red berries for our wintering robins.
