The color on this flowering pear was a bit ahead of most of the other trees at the Pacific Bonsai Museum. This and the other photos in this post were shot in late September by Kurt Simonson.
Close up so you can see some of the leaves, the base of the trunk and the moss a little better.
Were going to keep going with our the Pacific Bonsai Museum theme. This time with a bit more color. Even though late September was a little early for full force fall foliage (sorry) in the Pacific Northwest, some of the trees were well on their way.
As was the case in yesterday’s post, all the photos shown here are courtesy of Kurt Simonson (I cropped some for closer looks).
Not bad, but I think this Korean hornbeam will get a little more intense before it's over.
Here in Northern Vermont Sumac provides some of the most brilliant reds in our spectacular fall foliage feast. I suspect they do the same in the Pacific Northwest, and this one has a pretty good start.
The shadow is playing tricks with the trunk.
Only the first hints of fall on this Sweet gum. It's too bad too, as Sweet gums (Liquidamber) can be a fall foliage winner once they really get going.
A few leaves always drop a little early.
