Oh don't do that, you'll get pink eye. :haha:

Last one I guess -- well that was a disappointing climax, it seems like there was no orange or red period, everything just fell at yellow in my little divot in the world, and the rest of the trees around here went orange and red a bit but it is now past peak.

At least my cell phone reception has improved.

Our leaves were green, were green, were green, were gone. No transition at all. Seems like they all fell at once.

I think it was a Tuesday.

The neighbor takes his leaf blower and just blows all his leaves right down the hill into my area. But the joke is on him, because I don't care.

If your leaves were yellow, yellow is what they'll always be ... you don't have the sugar maples that turn flame red, or the ??? trees that go bright orange. But yellow is beautiful against dark, wet tree trunks.

I missed the peak this year in northwest PA, unfortunately; lots of yellow and orange here, but no red. Farther south, in Almost Heaven, again plenty of yellow and orange. No red. The sugar maples seem to need northern winters.

The best fall show I've ever seen was in the Ottawa Valley/Gatineau Region of Ontario/Quebec. Every hue and shade imaginable. Lots of sugar maples there for the reds, plenty of oaks, beech, birch for orange and yellow. Beautiful beyond comprehension. I didn't realize what riches I had at hand when I was a kid. I enjoyed all of it - just didn't realize it was rare and on the brink of disappearance.

Hahahaha......Yeah, I see many trees like that here. There's this one tree that used to turn red, bright red before the leaves fall. But for the past few years, they're just green then slowly I'd see some brown leaves on the ground. One day, no more leaves on the tree. They don't seem to turn yellow and red anymore. :(
