Early clouds, breaking for sun, easterly winds. Thay kept the temps from falling off overnight except for a brief initial drop at nightfall last night at some of the cold pockets

Pics today-

Near Bittinger 2nw

Lots of drop on the maples, still some color. Birches are yellow, beech beginning to turn a rusty orange tinge, hickory a dry brown edge, oaks green(one pic gives a great example of oak vs maple), cherry trees have dropped a bit with minimal color

Early morning while the trees were a bit damp provided the best color. Once the sun came out, dried off, the vibrance goes away

Deep Creek Lake

East wind making some whitecaps today. Southern and eastern side of Meadow Mt is primarily oak. Meaning it remains green longer. One you get to Cherry Creek and up, a birch, to maple on up Cherry Creek become dominant.

Cherry Creek Cove and up along Cherry Creek

Birches are in color along Cherry creek, and once up near the Rock Lodge and out, the maples have either already fell, or are yet in color. Oaks green,

Further north where the north branch of the Cassleman crosses Rock Lodge Rd, backdropped by Brenneman Hill.

A location with an abundance of maple…for this sequence a series of several pics of transition to today. Lots of maple drop through this area..

Meanwhile up on Mt. Washington in N.H
