Signs of early fall in the north country?

 I have spent a lot of time in the very-northern tip of New Hampshire over the past 50 years , and it has been common to see trees changing color starting in mid-August , just about the time blueberries are ripening all over the landscape. But this year, I have been picking blueberries for a week now , and it is only mid-July . And now this! Photo by Linda Lane Yes, that is Fall-like color in that tree by the river that borders my property. A fluke? Maybe, but I will be checking other hardwood trees for similar changes. My acqaintences know that Autumn is my favorite season - warm days, cool nights, little rain, very few bugs. But mid-July might be pushing things a bit .
