Sugar Maple fall foliage update 😁🍂🍁

We have had some big color changes over the past few days and some vibrant and fiery orange is coming through on about half the tree (the East / sunrise side of the tree). Won't be long 'til it's "at peak" color for the season, so start swinging by to snag some amazing Fall photos 📷🍁
