A fallen leaf with some residual raindrops. The tree from which the leaf fell (at right) is turning color from the tips of the branches toward the center. I don't recall seeing something quite like this before where most of the tree is still green except for the ends of a few branches. The dry, hot weather of the late summer apparently made for a bad fall foliage season around here so that leaves are either changing color very late or not at all; many are just falling on the ground green and turning a dull brown as they whither. I know this isn't happening everywhere and I hope to get out this weekend to see if I can see anything in northern Virginia or western Maryland.
