An hour-and-a-half walk up and down streets south of Market west of Third led to numerous spectacular scenes, including these representative samples:

This magnificent maple beside Crescent Drive
just south of Maplewood Drive (appropriately named).
It wasn't this full last year, for whatever reason,

Yellow maple and red dogwood side by side on Walnut Drive.




Brilliant yellow maples in front of homes along South Bright Leaf Boulevard.




Full red dogwood at the Board of Elections office on South Second.



 
A variety of hues in this view from the editor's front yard on Baker Street.




Bradford pears just beginning to turn along First Street.
