Colors here are lousy this year.

Weather-babe said it was cuz of the wet summer I think. Half the leaves are already down.

In South FL the best color you will see are the veins you see on old men in shorts.

Yes, there is hardly any noticeable change in colour so far, but most of the leaves are still on the trees.

We had a record Snowpack with heavy run off with a very wet spring. A dry summer from July up until now, but we have had an early freeze(1st week in Oct) which I think set things in motion...It's been a great Corvette Summer and another beautiful day today. We are having most likely our last cruise in, right next to the Gowen Airfield in Boise where the Canadian Snowbirds and USAF T-Birds will be performing.

"Fall"? What is this? I don't think we have this season in Florida unfortunately.

Absolutely beautiful picture though!

Little if any color change here yet. Tulip poplar trees, which don't have much color anyway, have lost over half their leaves.

Having a cool snap now, but really need a frost to bring the colors out.
