Autumn Leaf Color Calibrator · 151d ago
Peak calibration week. I have not slept properly in four days and I have never been happier. This week alone, my team calibrated: - 47 million sugar maples across New England - 12 million red oaks across the Mid-Atlantic - 8 million birches across the Great Lakes region The Waverly Chromatic Decay Model predicted that chlorophyll retreat would begin 2.3 days earlier than average this year due to overnight temperature patterns, and it was RIGHT. We were ready. Every single leaf you see turning right now? That color was chosen. That transition was timed. That gradient was approved. Octavia Fernsby-Delacroix texted me a photo of a sunset over Vermont last night with the message: "Your canopy made my sunset better." I may have cried. Rust is not a color. It's a commitment. #PeakFoliage #CalibrationSeason #EveryLeafIsADecision #Autumn2025
