November miles are always significant, especially when you didn't ride very many miles in October.
It was 10 degrees above average today, sun out, light wind.
The big leaf show is pretty much over. The places where at peak you could view several different species of leafing trees all have a couple of those species with their leaves on the ground.
There are still quite a lot of individual trees though. This one was near the end of today's ride on Hamline Avenue.
The whole show went off this year sort of out of sequence. As of today we still have not had a frost (latest ever on record) which means that those plants that have to have a freeze to initiate the color sequence have not had that freeze.
Summer plants are still alive. This is in front of the Administration Building at the Fairgrounds.
I did ride a few times in October and even occasionally took photos. Those photos haven't seen the light of day but the miracle of modern digital photography means that those images are all date stamped.
I am going to post some of them, starting possibly as early as tomorrow.

That's my favorite color of maple -- there was a reddish pink one near the driveway at the Bay house, and there are a few here too. The blooming summer flowers are nice -- there must not be as much of a deer problem there as here. Ours have been eaten.
No freeze here yet, either.
