[Lizziejane]

Very nice! Our leaves look nothing like that. I've been wanting to see some red and orange.

sheesh... ours are all gone now! We'll have snow in a couple of weeks

A few from some of our autumn traditions - Renaissance Faire and playing in the leaves:







We haven't had much for fall color yet this year, but there is enough to make a nice backdrop for shots of the river:

We still have leaves in SW Ohio. In fact, almost nothing has fallen yet. I have a feeling we won't have much color this year and one day we'll have a good strong wind and all the leaves will be on the ground.

That's pretty much how it is looking here in SE Michigan too. We haven't had much color this year at all; the leaves are just going stright to brown and falling. This weird weather we've had (from a/c to heat in 3 days' time! ) is messing up the usual fall transitions.

We visited the mountains on a work trip for DW and decided to extend our visit to see the colors. They really hadn't started very much, but we were rewarded with a special treat when we visited Mt. Mitchell! The clouds were providing enough moisture at that elevation for a special treat

For leaving my post without the pics all night. They goofed up and it was going to take me a long time to fix them last night. Hope you enjoy them.

I've been looking for color, but hadn't found much til today. Most of the bright trees were right behind some big phone poles and wires. Here's a few from ipswich.

We went out to the State Fair of Texas yesterday. Here's several shots from day and night. I didn't get as many daytime shots as I wanted to because it literally took us over 2 hours to get parked once we got to Fair Park. It was just the worst chaos I've ever seen there. As such, by the time we parked, got through the gates, and knocked down a couple of Fletcher's corny dogs (priority #1 ), it was already 6pm before I fired up the camera.

Everyone has posted some great shots, NostalgicDad I like your night shots of the fair, nicely done.
Here are some that I've shot from last week here in NH, have to becareful when I go out shooting because it's hunting season and I like to get off the beaten path and go where most people or tourist don't go.

Thank you. Those are some great fall colors in your shots. I'd love to see the fall foliage in your area at some point. We get "some" fall color around here but usually it's late and gone quickly.

"Fresh" fruit ... debatably autumnal ;-) Taken last week.
