Not a catchy title, I know. These pictures were taken October 5. I find it fascinating to watch the progression and development of the fall colors, as well as just soaking in their beauty. Perhaps a bit over analytical, I notice the colors turn first on the south facing slope, then on the hill across the road. Probably a result of the different predominant tree species. 
Of course, I was most intrigued to know if the pond would have any affect on the colors of the red maple we were so careful to preserve during construction. I guess not. It's a little more burgundy than crimson, but that may be a result of many other factors.
It's been VERY dry this year, versus very wet last year. And then, also very warm this fall. We have not had a killing frost yet.
Oh forget the analysis. Just enjoy.
One secret to fall foliage colors is to take the pictures when the sun is at low angles. The golden hues in this photo are enhanced by the setting sun.
