Fall is here for me, and is either here for you also, or coming shortly. I'm not sure we ever did have summer, but that's another topic. ;)
While you are out admiring the beautiful fall colors, maybe you can take your camera and snap a couple shots for PlantFiles? Fall foliage is something that we don't always get represented in the PlantFile entries, and it would be wonderful if we could work on that together. We are always excited for the spring renewal, and snap many photos of the new growth, but by the time fall rolls around, we're tired and not so much in the mood anymore. Since we really didn't have much of a summer this year, I'm not so tired, and I'm still in the mood for fall photos. Are you?
Thanks!

Things still very green and growing here. While we have had a night or two of chilly temps, night time temps havn't dropped cool enough, long enough to trigger any color change. Fall colors are roughly three to four weeks away. Give or take!

We are getting down into the 40's at night, I think our early fall colors are somewhat drought related.
Just drove back from Canton OH to central KY, via I-77 in eastern OH. There are the occasional Acer rubrum showing color south of I-70, and a smattering of Liriodendron tulipifera popping yellow amongst the crowd of green.
Ours have not quite popped yet, either...a few trees starting to turn. It's cooler this week.
Thanks! I hope you will both consider adding your photos to PlantFiles.
My fall project is to get as many fall photos as I can to add to the PlantFile entries. It froze hard here last night, so the foliage is going to be changing fast and furious now. I have to get the photos quickly once they start to change, because if we get a big wind, the leaves are removed from the trees in one big swoop and I've missed my chance.
passiflora_pink, Lovely Nyssa sylvatica. I have a small, 6 or 6 year old one. It has never showed nice fall color. Wish it would. Donna
These are the first trees to turn in the fall, in our area, beginning in October. This one is in my neighborhood and was taken last year, I think. The fact that everything turns red at once and that the tree has a symmetrical form makes it one of my favorite.
I have a couple of these trees in my yard but none as pretty as this one.
dybbuk, Lovely Maple. I guess we won't have much of any color here, Three nights of mid-teens is way too cold for this time of year. The leaves are frozen now.
dybbuk, Very nice photos of the Ginkgos. I have a small one that Kenton sent me in 2006. It is about 24" tall now, but our severe early freeze of 2 weeks ago froze all its leaves. In fact very little fall color in my garden because of the very early unusual freeze.

Dybbuk--Wonderful lto see those Ginkgos--thanks for posting the photos
Gorgeous fall photos! I love fall. :)
Wonderful color, VV...but you had to go north to find it! Wonder why we still have so much green? Or maybe it's just my little pocket over here in the flatlands.
Great photos. Love that last one.
LOVE these pics! I'll try to get some today!
Soooooo pretty!!
