Annual Foliage Comparison

I began a photo comparison of some maple trees in 2009, the first year I had a DSLR. In the past I've posted a blog entry each year but decided to turn the exercise into a page instead.

Weather statistics are for the period June 1 to September 1, are obtained from the National Weather Service and are taken at the Albany International Airport, only a few miles from the photo location.

Since this a photography blog I will identify the DSLR body used in the caption along with the date the photo was made.

Sadly, this will be the last year for the foliage comparison. After 16 years spending almost every day at this location, by this time next year I will no longer have a connection to the property. 

And one final shot showing the tulip tree I planted as a sapling 15 years ago.
