Location: The park across the street to the west of the capital building
Time: 1110-1130
Weather: Clear

I decided to do an observation on the trees that are in the park because I have been watching them turn colors for the fall. They were green before fall really started, in the beginning of September, but as time has progressed they have turned a dark red, almost a maroon color. Also, as opposed to most other trees that turn colors in fall they do not have a range of colors, each leaf is almost the exact same shade of dark red, so the tree changes color very uniformly.
