Leaf Me Alone

I was in Ohio a couple of weeks early. They told me that in two to three weeks, the leaves would be a symphony of orange, red and yellow. The best I found while I was there was this young maple that looked to have been recently transplanted. Perhaps the stress caused it to turn colors a bit prematurely. Other than this tree, the only color I saw on the trees was green, with an occasional leaf or branch turned. I could tell there were more and more little bits of color as the week went on, but nothing solid like this guy. Maybe next year they'll have me back up, and I can go later in the year.
