Chicago’s Fall Canopies of Color

I love the change of seasons. I especially love the change of seasons where I grew up in Virginia and also where I’ve lived for most of my professional live in Chicago. The simple reason is I’m always impressed with Mother Nature’s show when the leaves return in the Spring and when they change color in the Fall. 

We’re at the peak Fall color season here in Chicago and driving through many of the streets in my neighborhood you do so under canopies of color. 

Here are a few shots I’ve captured recently. 

 

Late Arriving Fall Color in Chicago

Color me curious

Two things everyone in our circles are talking about. ICE raids and a late arriving Fall. As far as the usual colors we get every Fall, this year most of our leaves haven’t turned yet. We’re about to turn the calendar from October to November and most of the foliage is still quite green.

Many of the early turning golden leaves are gone and filling the gutters, and there’s the occasional burst of red among the green. But all feels late. It will be interesting to see how this season progresses.
