Some years ago, we drove from Calgary to Vancouver in November. Calgary was already well covered in snow, which was really beautiful, but my most abiding memory of that trip is the amazing fall colouring of the trees and shrubs as we approached Vancouver.
Perhaps people would like to share their favourite photos of fall colours? Here are a couple from our English garden to start us off (not as impressive as the majestic US/Canadian vistas, but hey)

I do miss Fall in Maine. I lived there for 10 years and miss the expansive fall landscapes of New England. We do have lovely autumn colour in the UK but often don't get the nice sunshine and blue skies that makes the colours glow.

I'm hoping to go back to RHS Harlow Carr this week as the garden was looking fabulous last week. Fingers crossed for some sunshine!

Lovely photo, Sue. Around here (Oxfordshire) we don't get those vibrant reds and oranges, except for maples, which tend to be not very tall. Lots of yellows, though!
Look forward to maybe some wonderful autumn pics from Harlow Carr - I hope it's a great visit.

Ten years in Maine sounds interesting!

Last night, was our second night below freezing this fall, and the Autumn Blaze maple had begun to show significant color change yesterday. Even though it is clousy (my descriptor ) today, I grabbed a couple of images from different sides, since it may rain later this week and leaves have already begun dropping. The tree is in its eighth leaf in my backyard.


Sorry that there wasn't any blue sky.

It's a fabulous colour, Robert, and a lovely big tree. Love the word 'clousy' - very apt!

These were taken last week and the leaves have fallen already for the most part. Color not that great this year.

Elm or maple first then our sycamore. Love our sycamore tree!!





My witch hazel is really showing some color this year!!

Gorgeous, Amanda, thank you for sharing. What's the tree in your avatar?

Sycamore. Same tree as the one in the post above but taken a couple months ago.

It's beautiful.

Yesterday I drove to a supermarket to do some boring household shopping (although I do enjoy shopping at the local covered market in France) and was astounded and delighted to see that the car park had a lot of maple trees covered in glorious red autumn colour. Not as big as the glorious US/Canadian maples, but still!
So today I returned, with camera, and took a bunch of photos. You will see from the first one that the overall view is not brilliant (who wants to look at a load of parked cars?) so I messed around a bit with angles. The last photo is the one I liked best.

Today, the sun came out and the clouds exited. So, I grabbed a few more shots of Blaze before the leaves disappear:

Wow! Still gorgeous, but much more vibrant. Love it!

My backyard is a bit quite on fall color at the moment , but my neighbor's dogwoods are peaking

Wow, Robert, that's really beautiful. With colours like that, fall might be my favourite season!

Noted these when walking with Plato -






Cherry tree

Wonderful vibrant oranges, JM - thanks for sharing! What are the oblong orange fruits on the third pic? Great place to take a walk. Hi to Plato!

Not sure what that tree is, here's a full view:


Plato was all ears when I told him you said hello!

Not much color on the lot right now. One of my dogwoods has a very modest splash of color:

A neighbor cut down his birch, but it is fighting back and even showing a bit of fall color:

That's a stunning tree, jm - wish we knew what it is! As for Plato -

Nice, Robert - I would love a jacket, or even a scarf, in the colours of your dogwood! And good for your neighbour's rebellious birch, I hope it prospers!
