Early signs emerge of fall foliage in Orleans County
Photos by Tom Rivers: Some of the leaves at Mount Albion cemetery are starting to change from green to bright orange and yellow. This photo was taken on Thursday.
The leaves are starting to change color in Orleans County and in several upstate regions.
The first 2024 I LOVE NY Fall Foliage Report for New York State includes reports from volunteer field observers and reflect expected color conditions.
That first report from last week states the Adirondacks, Catskills, Thousand Island-Seaway, Capital-Saratoga, Central New York, Finger Lakes, and Greater Niagara regions “are all beginning to show indication of autumn’s brilliant palette,” according to the report from Empire State Development Division of Tourism’s I LOVE NY program.
It’ s still early in the foliage season, with 5 to 25 percent foliage change in some regions and just touches of seasonal colors in other areas, according to the report.
The weekly foliage report is on the I LOVE NY website at www.iloveny.com/foliage.
Leaves are starting to change color on this tree next to a private bridge along the canal in Albion between Main Street and Gaines Basin Road. This photo was taken on Sunday afternoon.
