Foliage Report from the NEK

[ctyanky]

Carol: an absolutely spot-on factual report with great photos! Wow, the color is looking great! It is so exciting to see your pictures with the foliage changing! Thanks so much for taking the time to write your NEK report in such detail. I love the shot of your hubby looking over the pond. Can't believe you went up and back in one day! Route 5 heading south in Barton is looking like it has the most change, is that correct?

Super report Carol and can't wait to see you!

Yup it's looking great Abby! I ordered some nice weather because I had to make up for last year! LOL. Found this quote on mainefoliage.com and their sept 11 report, but I think it echoes this season for all of Northern New England. "“The native maples, particularly the red and sugar maples, which are considered to provide the great backdrop of seasonal color, have vigorous, healthy foliage with no notable problems. Given our moderate summer weather, and allowing for this trend into the fall, I expect an outstanding vibrant show, overall,” said Bill Ostrofsky, forest pathologist for the Maine Forest Service."
