As you know, this year, we've received 98" of rain, exceeding our annual average in August, with 4 more months to go! This amount of rain has harmed maple trees with a leaf spot (fungus). This leaf spot combined with the pigments carotenoids and anthocyanins, has led to some really beautiful patterns on leaves. If you get bored one day, find a Maple tree and see what cool patterns are on the leaves!
