I honestly didn't think we would see leaves on trees this late in the year. I'm pretty sure that by the 10th of October last year, all the leaves were gone. Not that I am complaining.
Some ash trees get to a dark purple colour, this one stopped at red.
The mark of a true Catholic -- or at least one who's managed to drag her family to Ash Wednesday service. That priest had like HUGE thumbs!

Hundreds came to St. John Cantius parish to begin the penitential season of Lent. This is a privileged season of grace for the entire Church. It begins the annual solemn preparation for the Easter Mystery which is the culmination of the Church Year.
The Latin name for Lent, Quadragesima, means forty and refers to the forty days Christ spent in the desert which is the origin of the Season.
As happens on every Ash Wednesday, the people receive ashes on their foreheads in the shape of a cross while the priest says, "Remember that thou art dust and unto dust thou shall return." Ashes are a biblical symbol of repentance, sorrow, and humility. It is a fitting beginning to this holy season dedicated to the conversion of our hearts and the need to do acts of penance for ourselves and for the world.
There was a fire at Santa Cruz (25 miles north from where I am). Ash cloud travel dwon along the coastline.
Ash live at Shepherds Bush Empire. Was fun seeing them again, the crowd were mental, same old ash fans I remember 10 years ago. Lots of oldies were played, that was ace ^_^
Large open-grown ash, probably white ash, Fraxinus americana, succumbing to phytoplasma causing crown dieback and clumped foiiage. A common sight locally, affecting many large trees on roadsides and forest edges. S end Willett Pond Dam, Walpole, MA 8/23/12

Black ash swamp before leaf emergence of trees and shrubs. Principle tree species is black ash (Fraxinus nigra) with lower densities of yellow birch (Betula alleghaniensis), red maple (Acer rubrum), elm (Ulmus americana), white spruce (Picea glauca), balsam fir (Abies balsamea), and quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides). Shrub layer is composed of tag alder (Alnus rugosa) with smaller amounts of currants (Ribes hirtellum, R. triste, R. americana), beaked hazel (Corylus cornuta), and northern winterberry (Ilex verticellata). Shallow water in foreground is part of a slow moving intermittent stream.
