Oh, The Colors!
Fall is creeping south from Northern Minnesota and has almost reached the Twin Cities. This morning, I converted some AvGas into enjoyment and took some pics of the peaking colors.
These are from the Upper St. Croix River Valley just northeast of the Cities:
This is the dam and powerhouse at Taylor's Falls:
Winter's not far off.......

Gorgeous! We don't get anything like that around here.
No sign of Fall yet in So Cal. Hit 102F today and will be hotter tomorrow. Supposed to hit 106F on Monday! Yikes.

Beautiful pics, Pete. Those colors are already better than anything we'll get all fall here in Georgia!

Jenny and I have already discussed a flight to visit Mannan Thompson at Cornelia, in the foothills, when the Fall colors start showing. I'm just gonna have to take some pictures and compare them to Pete's. 
Best,

RV4chick and I just got back today from spending the weekend in Durango, CO. We try to go every year so RV4chick can do a "leaf check" for fall color. We weren't disappointed as the Aspens were having a dramatic color change. But I left the camera at home.

I suspect you'll be disappointed with your pictures, Pierre. I was just noticing the lack of colors in North Georgia last week. The extremely hot temps and lack of rain have caused a huge portion of the trees to just turn brown. I'm sure lots of 'em are dormant and more than a few are dead. My guess is that this will be a very poor fall color season around here.
But I hope I'm proven wrong...

Out west
We can not get close to colors the midwest and east does in fall. Summer
came late this year as is fall. The eastern Sierras have just started their
fall ritual. This was taken on Saturday just south of Bishop, CA looking
west. I was at 10.5K.
