The oaks and maples are holding on strong. The large oak directly behind my house is still mostly green....

 

My maple is completely down, but the ones across the street are hanging on.  The oaks are still majority up.  We have three leaf pickups in our neighborhood, ~4 weeks apart.  The second one is always the biggest, and that probably won't be until Dec 4th.

Only maples left around here are protected ones it seems. Think we passed peak at least few days ago in the city tho maybe I mischaracterize peak as it seems foliage net has continually lagged.

Leaves coming down good now imagine a few days of winds should make it look more like winter despite some which still have a way to go.

Finished my planned 30 day run yesterday but going to keep going thru Sunday anticipating foliage net does push us to past peak tomorrow. If not surely on next Mon update.

Thanks! The one a day posting is interesting.. I cheated twice recently on flickr but both of the "2nd shots" were of spots not in DC.  Like yesterday I took 500 pictures so it was difficult to choose just one/two. At this point it's as much fitting into the 'story' as using the best on a good day at least. 

 

I'm ready to put the camera down for a month..

Definitely past peak here whatever foliage net says.. they have like 2 observers in the broader region. But still some good patches of color.  Last three days.. the end of the Fallidays. :Phttps://www.flickr.com/photos/ianlivingston/sets/72157648363240428/

Nice. And to your last line....seriously. I don't know what to do with the extras. Most likely, I'll end up deleting all but the ones I really like. I'm in serious need of an external HD as I currently have 148 GB of pics in my 2014 folder on the laptop. At this point, my shutter needs a rest before the holiday season and snowstorms.

My fall photo set is 202 GB right now. :axe:  I've taken so many pictures this year, not sure why.  My workflow is also kinda terrible. I do low res JPEG plus RAW mainly since RAW doesn't automatically show you a thumbnail. I'm like a year behind in organizing my photos now.. need to get on that soon. I too hope for a lengthy break. It would be nice not to touch the camera for a month!

Foliage Network kept us at peak in today's update. Kinda silly. Not that it really matters... And yes, lots of leaves coming down today.

 

Thanks, Kay! I measured out 86 miles in walks... probably a little under-reported.

I may. Will give me something to do before its snow pic season. 

I can post some more at some pt. I am doing a wrap for CWG soon so have some for that I haven't shared anywhere.. should get first go there.  On some days I struggled to get one or two passable ones but on others I had maybe 2 or 3 dozen. I have a bunch already processed and ready to go and a number I need to get to.  Kinda doubt I'll post them all this yr but hopefully eventually.. maybe after I finish the best chase days from this year that I left for last like a dope since I didn't get to them lol.
