The first of our trees started changing last week. Is this a sign of disease or an early Autumn?

I think you're right. I'm no botanist, but the area behind our house is a wetland, and the trees changing are definitely maple-ish. Thanks!

We have a Red Maple, aka swamp maple, out front that is probably about, oh, 8 or 10% blazing red right now. Very cool!

They actually talked about this on the news the other day. The time the leaves change actually has nothing to do with the severity of the upcoming Autumn. It has more to do with summertime temperatures and rainfall.

This year, Maine's summer temperatures were spot-on average. But we had A LOT more rain. So we should have an outstanding fall foliage season.
