Right on schedule. How are the colors this year?

Interestingly I feel like we are a little ahead of schedule this year. Just south of NY a few hours. And the change was quite sudden. That usually means that there are some laggers that dont reach their full potential, but overall it makes for a good show that lasts quite some time. It wont be as nice as if things just time well together during a sunny crisp day. Sadly, the first weekend was not so great with rain/fog. This weekend is shaping up to be a high of 50 degrees with some sun. Id say prime time in my area starts now. If you want peak, wait a couple of weeks but be prepared to see about 20-30% of the trees with NO leaves on them.
Then the next season starts. Cold, bleak, and it lasts until the end of May!

We are getting some color now. Honestly I'm surprised by what we got and that it isn't all just brown from the drought we have here.

Right on schedule. How are the colors this year?

We went for a bunch of rides and they were nice, by the time we went on our lot, the leaves had fallen. We usually go to a few places and get some pictures but we never did do that so I never did get one picture of the fall colors. I think the colors changed quick this year compared to last year.

They are brighter and a bit early here as well. Although nothing like up north.

Peak color in my area. Here’s some pics I took today, starting from a couple miles away, and the last 3 are my yard.

Getting there in north GA. I'd say next weekend is peakish.

This was yesterday. I would say after this week a good portion of the leaves will be off the trees. We started to get some badly needed rain late yesterday evening with 1.9 inches in the rain gauge this morning and a lot of leaves were in the road this morning. These are all oak and hickory trees. The purple colored trees are white oaks and the greenish yellow are post and red oaks.

A little fall foliage and a double rainbow this evening.

Most likely peak here.

For some reason where my cabin is, we dont have alot of bright color. My oak for example, just turns brown and the leaves drop. Kinda of a bummer. Even the maples just kinda do that. It is in a valley with limited sun, so I'm not sure if that contributes but Im sure it does to some degree. Also, all the leaves have pretty much dropped. About 40% of the trees have leaves on them to some degree, the rest are completely gone. The ones left are just waiting for the next big wind and that will be it. If they last any longer, I will be concerned if we get a heavier snowfall here soon, which isnt a freak thing by any stretch.

Back home only an hour away, the trees are all at peak. Most still have their leaves and it's quite the show of bright yellow, orange, and red.
The smell is amazing too. There is no smell like it,..

The only people that arent enjoying this weather are the bad golfers. Hit a ball off the fairway, and say so long to your ball.

Love all these fall pictures. We do not have the broad hardwood forests here and this year a lot of the maple and alder leaves just went from green to brown.

We just took rides around here this year but I never took the camera, I'm pretty sure these pictures were from 2017 running the roads around here.
