Good color (not great) and fairly spotty in southern New Hampshire. A lot of trees are still green while others are at peak foliage and still others have lost all their leaves. I'm referring to the Maple family for the most part. The oaks will hopefully offer up their deeper red, maroons and oranges, in a few weeks. A UNH tree expert explained that this summer was reasonably moist and that allowed a lot of viruses and rusts to grow on the leaves causing the trees to lose their leaves just as the color is developing. Sounds reasonable especially considering last years's extreme drought offered one of the best foliage seasons in years.

East-central Indiana--not much of anything. No frost yet after a dry summer, so the leaves are just turning brown and falling or they are hanging on the tree still green.

What do things look like out your window? These reports seems more accurate than anything I have found on the internet so I appreciate your feedback. I am wanting one more fall color shoot for the year and am undecided as to the area. It would appear that color this year is a bit challenging in some areas...I am guessing the heat. But who really knows.
Thanks!


Would this be of any help?

Just getting started here in n. California. We just got back from a tour of the Canadian Rockies and it's going full throttle up there. Beautiful.

Not an artful shot but it gives an idea of the color in British Columbia.

Green, with a little browning here and there. Definitely nothing exciting to see.

This link should help the leaf peepers in many parts of the USA for up to date foliage reports. The latest one was contrived yesterday.

In the L.A., CA area, what Fall? This coming Tuesday they forecast 103F. We've been toggling between Summer and Fall for two months now. We don't get a lot of Fall color here anyway, except for a few species and trees that are imported, like Sugar Maple. Most Native California plants are brown from the Summer already.

In SE Idaho near Yellowstone and west of the Teton's the fall color is essentially over. This is at 5000 ft. plus altitude.

I sure hope so, as I will be headed there at the end of the month! I hope to get some fall color while I am visiting at my childhood home.

Northwest Vermont here - All over the place this year! Colors are extremely vivid on some Maple varieties, but every type of tree seems to be changing at different times and most of them are dull. Some are almost bare and others haven't even started to change yet - by far the strangest foliage season I have seen (at least in my area of Chittenden County)
If it wasn't for the very warm temps (I won't complain!) and drought it probably would have been the best year ever! We have a lot of trees that lost a lot of their leaves before they changed. While, still beautiful to witness, not so much for general photography.

I have to say though that this is the first time I have seen so much vibrance in most of the understory. The sumacs and vining weeds are amazing with the contrast of shapes and colors.

I heard that Central and Southern VT has been vivid, but do not know if that is being reported from a 'photographic eye' or a 'simple eye'. Big difference IMO

Same here in southern New Hampshire. Peak foliage is here now, and about a week later than usual, due to heat wave about two weeks ago. Some early trees are bare, and some varieties of maple were affected by a fungus and dropped early, but still, as we say up here, "danged colahful"....... Still winds and sunshine will keep the maple leaves up a few more days, but rain next week will bring them down. I'd go further south for a foliage trip, if I were you.
