Why are the trees still green? - Page 2

No Frost=Green leaves. Thats usually what tell the leaves to get going.

Our frost came really late. It was 30C (86 F) on thankgiving weekend (canadian thanksgiving), and it was 24C (72F) this weekend. I'm loving this warm weather. Its strange to walk around in your shorts and t-shirts with the leaves turning colour. It was even more strange going to the beach in October.

Weird weather!

We had 3 inches of snow last Sunday. Today it was 78 degrees. Seriously. We're not really sure what season it is. At least the ski resorts are beginning to open up. Ah, Colorado.

Anyway, I'll miss all of ski season due to a little business trip to the Middle East for the next 6 months! Gotta love the Air Force!

California is not so lucky Violet- their trees are mostly black.

That's very true, Bro. Larry.
A very sad situation!

Violet: I checked with your state DNR website and while it is just a bit late this year due to all the rains over the past 7 weeks, it is not out of the time frame that has been observed for the past 40 years or so.

Perhaps this information may be of interest:

What are !!!YOU!!! complaining about

What about us here in Vegas where it can reach 120 degrees in the shade

I have to cocoon myself at home every summer...

My nieghbors come around asking if Im ok...

I thought I posted this before...oh well...

Ya know, leaves aren't really green?

They're all colors in the spectrum EXCEPT that shade of green.

The leaves actually absorb all the other colors in the spectrum, and reject green. It throws the color back out at us. That's why we see them as green.

I got in trouble for putting this one on a test in grade school. The teacher called my folks in and said that I was being difficult.

Try 100 degress with 98% humidity and you will be glad to get back to Vegas.
