It's kinda hard to tell without seeing the species up close. There's a lot of pine and hemlock in there which account for a lot of the green. The older oaks here have some spotty change, but are still mostly green. He's obviously at elevation so I'd probably call that high color. Their current map has patches of high mixed with the mod. 

My Oaks are quite a bit ahead of schedule. Lots even down already . What I’m seeing on the leaves is either totally brown or a lot of black speckled leaves . So my guess is the wet , humid summer gave them some type of a fungus that causes early change and drop.

We’ve started some color here but it was definitely behind what I saw in SVT elevations last week.

This is right now up here.

Some color at the golf course.

Hiked Red Hill in Moultonborough this afternoon. Easy hike with good views of Winnipauskee, Squam and Southern Whites. Tomorrow plan is to hike Willard in Crawford Notch. Swam for 20 min in lake in the morning - still pretty comfortable. You can tell the foliage is suffering from drought. Very, very dry.
