A sign of global warming?

When I was in my youth (yes, only a few years ago) I used to listen to a small band. Some of you may have heard of them - they go by the name of U2. They were my favourite band for many a long year. I used to love their song October which had the lyrics:

"October and the trees are stripped bare of they all wear..."

The full track can be heard here:



When I was walking in the park today (November 1st) I couldn't help but notice that the trees, whilst they are in the process of losing their leaves, were far from stripped bare. Could this be another sign of global warming? Or, is this just the best Autumn ever?

I, for one, have certainly enjoyed the beautiful and vibrant colours.

  1. I am so totally with you on this one, the road I drove down yesterday was so wonderful. The leafs were so many different coulors, reds and yellows. I do love that part of this time of year. However, once them leafs go, I fall into a state of depression until the leafs come back. Maybe I was a leaf in my previous life! I don't think that is Global warming though.

  4. Gorgeous! I'm with Mel. I think I must have been a leaf in a former life. Now that it's December, and they're all gone, I'm so sad. -Missy
