Not much good color this fall, too much rain. Now it's white anyway.

Leaves have been gone for almost a month in ND, but they are still blowing around.

Just the same ol' same ol' around here. The usual green everywhere although for some unknown reason there seems to be peaches on the peach tree. They are only about half ripe, but they shouldn't be there for several more months. A lot of the orchids are blooming, does that count as color?

Mostly white, but there's a bit of Halloween if you look hard enough.

Gimme a lil bit a time to go clean out the gutters again and then I'll tell ya how pretty the leaves are.


But even with the dry spell we had, the leaves did have a lot of color this year and held on longer than expected.

Great photos everyone. I love the foliage. We had good rain this year in southwest virginia and the foliage has been great. I took this photo a couple weeks ago on the appalachian trail near Damascus.

Our summer was pretty dry here and the color wasn't as vibrant as it normally is..then we received a good amount of rain! It seemed like the colors popped over night The show was short but beautiful. Right now the Tamaracks have turned their golden yellow...
Here's a picture from the end of September of a pond down our road...

Around middle Alabama, the colors have not quite peaked, and are not as pretty as most, but there are some spots within an hour or so northeast that are quite beautiful. Almost as good as meta87's photos.

Here, in this general area and the surrounding counties, fully 30% of trees of all kinds are dead from drought. Pines have brown needles still clinging to branches. Oaks of all kinds have brown, dead leaves likewise clinging to branches. Gum, tupelo (black gum), magnolia (oh, especially the magnolias) chinese tallow and chinaberry, ash, hackberry, black walnut, hickories, black cherry, redbud, cedar, cypress, you name it, dead. So we are looking at a pallette of dead brown, and what's left is varying shades of yellow and some are still green. But 30%, dead.
