2026 Fall Foliage Photos and Discussion

[Paleocene]

I did not see a thread for this, so, here we go.

As of 10/21 along the fall line in lower Montgomery County near DC, we are still mostly green. Maples are changing color but not yet peaking. Poplars really got roasted by the mini-drought and lost a lot of leaves or are brown/crispy (they're yellow in good years). Oaks are still mostly green. Here's a sweet gum tree in a local park that is usually vibrantly red and orange but this year is more muted. The white pines are entering full needle drop around the area, too. Photo taken quickly and carelessly on my smartphone.
