Already in August there are clear signs of approaching fall in North-Central Minnesota. It may be that leaves are turning early this year because of our dry conditions.

Leaves yellowing slightly on tree on the west shore of Leech Lake.

Alder and hazel bushes rimming the shores of our lake are starting to yellow.

Staghorn sumac along roadsides is starting to turn red.

This maple was red on August 16, exceptionally early.
