Confused Plants and More November Foliage

This geranium ground cover is confused about the season and was putting out blooms earlier this week. When I mentioned this to a garden expert, she said she's seen a lot of strange plant behavior this fall.

What have you spotted?

While elsewhere around the city the fall foliage is still putting on a show.

Yes, I do love to take photos of the big picture like this statue of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall with his backdrop of yellow and organge.

But, my favorite shots are of leaves as they gather in natural groups on surfaces like this granite. I enjoy the shapes and shades of individual leaves and their ever changing colors.

Or, when the family of leaves from one tree fall in profusion onto a surface like this evergreen hedge.

    There are a lot of London Plane trees around where I work. Because of the drought, they started losing leaves around August. Well, in recent weeks, they’ve been re-leafing. Last year’s cherry harvest was pretty bad because it never got cool enough for the trees to go dormant, so they started blooming early. Lots of weird things going on all over the place.

    I think of you and David when I post foliage photos. I know there are many friends who miss the colors and I’m happy you can follow along and enjoy our pictures of your former home.
    Thanks for the West Coast report.
