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.

Best rates of the season.  Just dumping.

Love the red hill hike. We are 5 min from there.

Near peak? That’s half green 

The evergreens have leaves?

 I am hoping for Stein through Morch, but it means much much less outside of growing season, summer, high sun angle etc.

Stein bragging heavily this morning.

Well this mornings GFS has snow for those visiting on Columbus Day weekend. At least if the foliage is gone they’ll have something to look at!

Good morning Torch Tiger. I can understand the sentiment. As for Mr Epstein, I believe it’s best that he counts his blessings and keep sharing the photos. As always ….

Looks like he was on Little Moose Mt, and that area has a lot more spruce and fir than pine/hemlock, also very little oak.  Beech tends to tarry in coloring (unless it's diseased) and some sugar maple turns significantly later than most of that species.

Out on the Katahdin on Moosehead. A bit brisk with NW wind but not a cloud in the sky.

The big (24" x 90') red oak near the house still thinks it's August.  Nearby white ash are almost bare, red maples near full color (even away from the swamps) while sugar maple is just beginning to color.

I defer to the real tree expert here.

Another beautiful day.  The foliage is weird or maybe it's just me being weird.  The colors were coming on strong just before the rain 2 days ago. We did have some leaf fall during the storm but not very much.  Now the tree leaves seem more green.  I don't think that is possible but perhaps it's just what was turning colors did fall off the trees.

I'm guessing the last sentence is your correct take.

Edibles?

I honestly thought the leaves on my pawpaws looked more green yesterday too.

In second thought the foliage doesn't look too early. The silver birches in the undergrowth usually yellow pretty quickly.

Took its time.  Still BN at BOS but should end up AN.

Definitely a summer feel out here today.
