Here is the tree after a month. It's completely changed from a month ago. But over the past week it has hardly changed day by day. But each day a few more leaves fall.
The big changes came in the windy, rainy days about two weeks ago. As you go through the sequence you will see that as the leaves fall you can gradually see more and more sky through the tree. And the pool of leaves beneath the tree gradually gets bigger and bigger.
There are scatterings of leaves around the middle of the crown and quite a few towards teh bottom.
Not a big change around this time
A lot of leaves came off in the winds around this time.
Over these few windy days there was a big change. Leaves now orangey-browny-gold came down fast. The air was full of them.
The dramatic changes happened over these few days when the bulk of the leaves fell.
November 5 looks very different. This is partly due to the light of course but it was in the week starting November 3 that the big changes happened.
The tree is still covered in leaves, but the green is going all across the tree. There is a distincly golden tinge across the tree.
After a week the tree looks just almost like it did at the start but slowly, slowly the green of the leaves is going and the leaves will soon start to fall.
The tree looks as green as it did in the summer. But under it the leaf litter is starting to accumulate. For any of you who want to see the complete sequence I hope to put it up on a web album in the next few days. The sequence above are taken on bright days. The lighting on the dull days is so different it is hard to distinguish which changes are in the tree and which are caused by the different lighting.
