Great Theme! I don't think I have any actual larches but the maples, fruit trees, and the corn are just starting to change colors around here, should be lots of interesting images to capture over the next couple weeks!

I will be in the Ozarks on th 19th- I will have to act fast. In Texas we have two leaf colors- green and alive, and brown and dead.

Hopefully there will be some changing by then. I live in central Arkansas so I'll have to be creative on this one.

I saw this cool interactive map predicticting the fall foliage.

When will the leaves start changing? When will they peak? Our Nationwide 2023 Fall Foliage Map and leaf prediction tool has answers and progressive county-level predictions.

I will probably drive north to hit Missouri, too. Whether I get a good picture or not doesn’t matter. I haven’t seen, smelled, nor felt autumn since I moved to Texas in 92

Do your fruit trees not look different this time of year than in March? You could also show us the sameness of your seasons, or if all else fails, I bet the Christmas trees or coming into bloom at you local Walmart.

I'll kick this off. The Poison Ivy is coloring up nicely. I didn't feel the need to try to rearrange the leaves for a better composition though.

Hmmm, is my browser/this site messed up, or is there really only one entry? We gotta have competition, right? This is late and doesn't count, but just for kicks--Tessa and the Giant Pumpkin

And the winner is...#8. Great shot!

Toxiconendron radicans! I'd know that ANYWHERE! I am a field geologist and come across it on a regular basis! The vine alone (in the winter time with NO leaves on it) can STILL bite you!

What a beautiful smile! Gets my vote even if a little late, great way of showing fall even without leaves. #10

I used to get it all the time as a kid. I still get a spot or two every now and the, but since learning what to watch out for, hasn't been any worse than a mosquito bite or two.

With the houses in the background, tombstones in the foreground, green and autumn color leaves in the middle, I thought “Various Stages of Life”

I’m in too late- lost track of time. Oops.

 

[oc_in_fw]

I like #8. Also, the only one of us who got in on time.

 

[Kyle_F]

Really intended to enter this. Was waiting for some leaves to change and I just took too long.
Vote for #8

Yep, still not much has changed yet.

Seems like its taking longer than normal this year. A few trees started changing a month ago, but still a fair amount of green out there. Usually happens in the blink of an eye.

Congrats Troy on your landslide victory! I look forward to actually competing next month
