It’s past peak and the leaves are falling. Before finishing the raking, take a last look at the glorious foliage, photographed by Press Herald photographers in October.
“I kick at the leaves of maples
Reds of seventy different shades, yellow
Like old paper; and poplar leaves, fragile and pale;
And elm leaves, flags of a doomed race.”
– Donald Hall from Kicking the Leaves (1978)
