Unfortunately, the young beech tree at the entrance to my place has fallen 🙁
The Eastern White Pines and Eastern Hemlocks have obviously retained their needles, but virtually every other woody plant is becoming quite bare. The Norway Maple and American Beech (r.i.p.) still have quite a few yellow leaves. The Buckthorn leaves are hanging on for dear life but look rather spotty and decrepit.
On the forest floor, asters are dying, grasses are dwindling, and some ferns are yellowing slightly. Meanwhile, the logs are still covered in moss and smattered with yellow-orange fungus.
