Barry, I've been noticing some color changes here in southern New Brunswick over the past few weeks. For the most part it seems to be the red and silver maples, and usually the smaller/younger trees. In some cases I see some small trees that are almost entirely red, and in the background a wall of green constituting the more mature trees.
