Last week saw a stretch of cold, rainy days and the trees got the hint. It is now sunny and pleasant this week, but some of our maples in Southeast Michigan are starting to look just kissed with color here and there. We are supposedly in for a good color season this year, but often stormy weather will take the leaves away before they peak.
What is it like in your area? Do you get fiery maples, golden birches, brown oaks?

We have a few trees in the lake that have a hand full of red leaves. Our Red Maple tree is still green, we won't loose those leaves until early November.

We are just starting to get colors on our maple trees here I noticed the other day. I love the fall colors. But we don't get alot here in Florida. We lose our oak tree leaves in windy March!

Dorinda, I am somewhat familiar with St. Cloud, as I had family that lived there for a while (they're now in Kissimmee.) I lived in the Keys as a kid, and the rest of my dad's family remains scattered around the Florida Peninsula. Anyway, was thinking that the seasonal change in FL is subtle (in terms of foliage) but definitely there. :) I'll bet you're enjoying some cooler temps too! :D

We have tons of color here already. It started in early September and one of my sugar maples out front has gone through a transformation of fiery orange to blazing red to this interesting butter yellow. See, it's weird, but gorgeous! Now the leaves are starting to fall on it and I'm watching the rest move through ~ my absolute favorite season.

April, I am so much enjoying the cooler weather here right now. I cooked dinner early this evening so I could just stay outside until dark and vegg out on the swing and enjoy the cool breeze a blowing. My little beagle loves the cool weather also. He has an itchey skin condition and loves the coolness on his skin. He was so excited when I let him out to pee the other morning I thought I would never get him to come back in!!!!

I went for a 7.5 mile bike ride today and I can get out of town fairly easily here. Lots of red and sugar maples turning here, dark red oak leaves, lots of yellow in the maples, aspens, birch, etc. Pretty much everything is turning, almost peak color here and we get our share of leaf-peepers....can't wait to go out to our land on Saturday and maybe take a walk in the woods, if we have time. We need to get some dead branches to act as trees for the graveyard we create for Halloween:)

The cottonwood leaves are just starting to turn yellow. The temperatures dropped quit a bit this week. And we had a wonderful day and a half of rain this week. Don't think it dampened the visitors for Balloon Fiesta though. Definitely not shorts weather anymore!
It's a gDGBD (Gosh Darn Good Banjo Day)! |

My Maple tree is starting to turn red,and I've seen those red bushes in different places (know their name but I can't think of it).

Here colours started about beginning of October but it is slow in turning. My maples have turned a beautiful burgundy red and are now changing again and when it is windy the willow and poplar leaves are blowing around. So fall is definitely here. I love the colours of spring and summer but the fall colours are so unique.
Give thanks to yourself everyday for all the wonderful things you do! |

We just started to color up here in Moscow last week, still a lot of green. I love this transition time, its so amazing to watch the seasonal transformations, now if I only could find my camera!
Happy autumn!

It's an explosion of brilliant colors here in the Pacific Northwest.
Oranges,golds and yellows. Maple trees are so pretty and so are
the oak, poplars and many others. Tiny buds on our yellow rose
bush but we know with temps now in the low 60's and 50's at night,
they won't be opening.
Enjoying reading all the posts of color changes from
all over.

hands, I give with my heart .... |

Depending on where you look we've got yellow, orange and red. The vineyards are starting to look so pretty with the leaves changing color and the cluster of grapes. I saw some bright red "something" today out in the sage brush, don't know what it was but it was stunning. I love the colors of Autumn!
