Thanks for the beautiful pics. I especially love the one with the birch trees. You live in a beautiful area. Our peak is the middle of October in MA.

Gorgeous!!!! I grew up not too far from you (southeast of Ladysmith), and now I'm homesick!!!! I live in a far west burb of Chicago now, and although we do have some color change here, it's not THAT pretty!!!!

Certainly! That's a good idea...hmmm, I wonder if I can remember how to do that....

Medford, WI looks the same way. We had 3" of rain these past 2 days. This morning it rain the entire time, seen the sun for 15 min & now clouding up again.

blueangel 09-28-2011 10:55 AM

Beautiful. I love Fall.

I called my husb to the computer to look at these beautiful pics. (He's a real homebody.) I thought they might inspire him to agree to a day-trip this fall. My plan backfired!!! He agreed they were beautiful and said "How nice you can see all that without ever leaving home." I love him to pieces, should've known if he hasn't changes in 40 yrs, he's not starting now!!LOL!!

laughingquilter 09-28-2011 11:05 AM

My BF and I just took a road trip up to northern WI this past weekend and it was absolutely beautiful. We lucked out and must've picked the best weekend of the season. We don't have near the color yet down by us - I'm guessing by the second weekend in October we'll be showing off our colors.

enjoy! and thanks for sharing!!

buddy'smom 09-28-2011 11:06 AM

WOW, stunning, I lived in WI for a year.

tealfalcon 09-28-2011 11:10 AM

Very pretty fall pictures....we don't get colors like that down here

Too funny!! You can come alone to visit me if you want!

Gorgeous pics. We took a short trip to MN and thought their trees were great, but your colors are even more brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

Jingle 09-28-2011 11:26 AM

Beautiful colors, our trees are just starting to turn. With the heat and dryness this summer don't know how much colors we will have. Lucky you I love fall colors.

Jim's Gem 09-28-2011 11:41 AM

Beautiful pictures!

We had a pretty wet summer, so that is good for fall color. And, we've already had two nights of frost, so that is hurrying things along.

I love fall also, but I am grieving for summer being over. I love summer the best.

Having lived in florida for 25 yrs the one thing I miss about not living up north is the beautiful fall season. The leaves are just beautiful.

Fall is the most beautiful time of year. Your pictures capture the season very well. I love the cool nights and warm days, and the APPLES!
