We've now got mostly bare trees in the northern suburbs of Atlanta.

Roughly a week ago, we had a big storm at night, and half of the leaves fell off. since then, most of the others have fallen off.

Thank you for the late-season photos, Verseau! It is interesting to see the urban version of fall foliage pics.

No problem. While leaf-peeping in the city doesn't compare to leaf-peeping in the countryside, the planners of parks like the Boston Public Garden and Mt. Auburn Cemetery were careful to plant a wide variety of tree species that would turn brilliant hues in the fall. They appreciated the beauty of fall foliage even in the mid-1800s when these parks were designed.

These urban parks also give you the opportunity to see some colorful exotic species not native to the region, like the red Japanese maples and the rusty orange dawn redwoods endemic to China, one of the few species of deciduous conifers (both visible in my previous post).

Looks like we skipped a year with this thread, but I thought I'd resurrect it for the current foliage season...

It's shaping up to be another subpar foliage year in New England. It's now been 4 or 5 years since we've had truly great colors in northern New England. The last several seasons have largely been too warm (and/or wet) to produce the familiar vibrant foliage in large quantities. The current "Indian summer" heat is unfortunately continuing that trend.

That's not to say that there are no beautiful colors to be found. They are still out there, but I feel a little bad for the people who visit the region without knowing what a truly great season looks like.

Here are some of the better shots that I captured last weekend near Carroll, NH:

Thanks for reviving this thread, Verseau. Excellent photos!

Here are a few pics from my area during the last few days. We are about a week away from seeing serious color, I think. Conditions have been relatively dry and sunny, which is good, but temps have been warm. We have potential for rain now all the way through the weekend, so I'm hoping that we don't have too much leaf drop before the colors really get going next week (when it is also supposed to cool off). I think the potential is there for a nice color show if we don't get too much wind.

Unfortunately I am not going to make it to the northern part of the state this fall for the better foliage, so the Lansing MI area will have to suffice:

A couple of nice shots someone posted from the UP of Michigan on the MI forum:

This one is especially cool with Lake Superior in the background:
