We drove west to Fryeburg the other day for the last fair of the agricultural season.
.
.
It’s always a gorgeous drive this time of year…
.
.
But due to the ongoing lack of rain and drought conditions the leaves weren’t nearly as bright.
.
.
Patches of color, yes.
.
.
But the trees have been stressed this year.
.
.
They started turning early and in much more muted shades.
.
.
Disappointing.
.
.
But still scenic.

Same in the GTA. Although they’re forecasting rain on Tuesday I think…

We’ve only had one good day of rain in the past two months. It’s crazy dry.

We were going to plan a trip to the White Mountains, but the dull foliage deterred us.

I visited someone at Notre Dame University during fall decades ago.
The color change was stunning. Humbling, even.

It’s my favorite time of year. Some are just better than others due to weather.

Here it is hot and dry. Green and faded green are the fall colors so far. Still hoping for some color later – though a cold front bringing in storms may blow all the leaves down before they get any color.
I have fond memories of the Fryeburg Fairgrounds and a brewery a short walk from there.

It’s the desert here in Arizona, but it’s very green this year. We’ve had a couple good rainstorms and more to come.

Our colors were off to a great start but then stalled when it turned hot and dry. Fall is welcome to show up any time now, please and thank you…

This is not fall.

Yes, the foliage here isn’t nearly as thick as I remember, although it’s gotten better as we headed through Vermont and into Canada.
