@femme_mal@mstdn.social Even at similar latitudes, it changes differently across Canada, with color variations, speed of change and overall length of season. Eastern Canada has a gradual and long lasting color transformation, while in Alberta along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, it can happen fast and suddenly be over with a good blast of cold wind. All beautiful.

@dabertime@mstdn.social I live a little above 43N. My maples begin to change to red the last two weeks of August; my neighbors who have a different variety change rapidly to bright red once we get frost which can vary widely from year to year, end of August to first of October. But my maples gradually turn brilliant yellow the first week of October and then drop their leaves the last of the month, later than all but oaks. Even in our neighborhood autumn can be very different year to year. So delicious. 1/2
