... THERE IS A SEASON TURN, TURN, TURN

You may be thinking that this is a shot from last Fall, but, you would be wrong. This photo was taken just the other day. It is like nature is giving folks a preview of what's coming. I'm sure there is a logical explanation why these leaves are displaying autumnal tendencies. I, however, have no idea what it may be. Do you?

    I don't and would be curious to know why. The photo is great, the 'wrong' colors stunning.

    No idea either. But there are some maple trees that are red all year round. Maybe this is one of them?

    I don't know. I had a maple tree cut down in my yard a couple of years ago and the stump keep sprouting new growth that looked kind of like that. Those colors are pretty!

    I'm not sure. But in Bermuda, many plants change color in Spring and early Summer, like the orange fiddlewood, rather than in the fall.

    No, I have no idea either. It looks pretty much like autumn, indeed. Great find!

    They're dying from lack of something. I think. I really don't have a clue. It's a mystery. They're very colorful, though!?

    Very strange. And, of course, it'd have to be a photo taken in Florida. A poor freak-show tree showing off and getting the world's attention. Typical, cut-down, Florida tree stump. Enough already tree. You're dead.

    Very pretty.

    In bogs, fall color comes early becasue the plants are stressed adn going to lose their leaves. Perhaps these are stressed in some way, but they sure are pretty!

    Something has tricked these leaves into thinking it is fall. What an interesting capture. Definitely not the kind of trees I think of for South Florida!

    Hopefully, somebody will know the real reason for the turning of the leaves!

    As long as its not poison oak, I think it's great. Nice alternative for a picture fall colors in summer

    Tell me it ain't so! Judging from the weather here in MA, where we usually skip from winter to summer in 1 week, this year it seems we are in one long spring pattern, moving quickly into fall. Very little sign of summer. It looks as though that old tree is giving us one last look at its majesty.

    Insecticides, pesticides - any soil contamination, rally.

    That is so sad. It's just trying to live and can't.

    I have a picture from Vermont just a few days ago of fall colors also. It's only one small tree though.
    weird.
