Likely the big show will be at Thanksgiving this year; only time will tell.
It's a very slow start to the colours season. I heard some speculation that there would not be colours this year because of the drought; highly unlikely. That is not how nature works. Trees will stop photosynthesizing and leaves will change colour as a consequence of their stopping production. Surprise is that the change is starting so late. Stressed trees usually change earlier, not later. So far though I see almost no change in the immediate landscape. Even the maple tree in the driveway is still green and it is often turning red mid August. As usual, nature doesn't care what the calendar says, and works on its own schedule. In the general landscape (along hwy 60) I saw about 10% change on Friday, with the show being more vibrant when heading west.
