Here in Northern California the fall colors have been amazing. We have it all; beautiful yellows, oranges, and reds that looked like your 2008 pictures. I've never even heard of your leaf disease...probably too dry here for that. Hi Martha. Here in Northern California the fall colors have been amazing.

We, here in Georgia, have had a wet Spring, Summer and Fall. I wondered why our Fall colors were so drab, now I understand. We have had serious drought conditions over the last three years and the rain was welcomed. However, we have gone from drought to flooding. Lake Lanier in north Georgia was at record low pool last year and not expected to reach full pool for five years. However, Summer and Fall rains have been substantial and the result is full pool at the lake and all other lakes in Georgia. Enjoying your FB site.

Let me tell you a little bit about Oregon! On the University of Oregon campus, this season may be the dampest. The maples look like flames of fire, but on a fire about to retire... Some oaks still maintain a bit of yellow, however, this year more so like a balding fellow. And the willow weeps for no good reason, for she is the greenest at this point in the season. :\ Adrianne Degn Eugene, Oregon Hi Martha,

On the University of Oregon campus,

And the willow weeps for no good reason,
for she is the greenest at this point in the season.

We never get as much color as folks up in the northeast, but it seems like it's shaping up to be a pretty good year. In tidewater Virginia, we're reaching our peak color right now.

Here in Australia Victoria after a long period with little rain we are now getting a good downfall at long last and the gardens are looking beautiful this Spring.

I agree. Washington state has had a stunning, long lasting fall. The leaves are very healthy and sturdy. They haven't turned soggy in the recent rain. I plan to go for another ride today, as it will be raining tomorrow. Every weekend, I go I-90 or north on I-5 to Blaine, and find a new country road to investigate. Last weekend, I rediscovered the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, (no leaves, but fascinating). If you plan to do the Cascade loop, take US 2 in the am, and circle back on I-90 (for a safer, smoother drive) in the PM. I hope you had a great ride yesterday, Kare. I agree.

North Dakota Sunrise is gorgeous this morning. I cut down 3 fir trees that have been in our yard fifty years and shut off view of big sky. Fall goes quickly and then winter.

We had a very mild summer with more than usual rain. The silver maple, ash and redbud leaves in our yard are yellowed and brown spotted. I found it interesting that the redbud stems are separating from the leaves and making a big mess in the grass and patio. However, our Japanese Maple trees look brilliant and our Maple trees out front are a firery orange which radiates into house making me think I keep leaving the office light on. :-) I found this post very interesting and I agree that the fall colors are not what they usually are in Kansas City either.

We had weekly rains all spring and summer and the nights have cooled down gradualy, so the yellows are out in great numbers!! We also have a sprinkling of reds and of course green through our rolling hills and country side. I love your comparison of this year and last on your farm. Sometimes it is the same here too. I just enjoy the good years. Love your farm anyway.

Marie Ontario, that is is northern ontario, on the Michigan border. Our trees some of them changed color early and started to loose their leaves earlier then usual. We had a cold snap then it warmed up, but not much rain, our summer was cold compared to last year. Our red maples are very vibrant this fall. I live In Sault Ste.
