On a trip to Blandy Experimental Farm, the State Arboretum of Virginia, in the second half of November we found most leaves had already fallen from the trees. Not unexpected. However, we also found a few stragglers, maple trees hanging onto their leaves and showcasing some bright colors. Additionally, we got to see how beautiful the ground can be when most leaves have fallen, creating a carpet of colored leaves that create that distinctive crunch as you walk over them.

I hope you enjoy this short look at two perspectives of the maple trees at Blandy.
