Foliage Follow-Up is hosted by Pam at Digging on the day after Garden Bloggers' Bloom day each month. I'm a day late but thought I'd share some foliage seen on a walk in the park up the street from my house.
While green is still the predominant color in the park, the maples are beginning to color up nicely.

Okay, it's not foliage but the bark of the 132 year-old Carolina Poplar is pretty amazing.
And back home. My house is behind that foliage somewhere.
