Being born and raised in the midwest. I was raised with the beauty of fall. i remember at fall as a kid the family would take a Sunday drive. Just to take in the beauty. HERE in La. most everything stays green. or turns BROWN and fall off. No fall beauty in cajun country:(

yuck!......that is depressing!

I love our fall colours, our front tree is just now starting to change, but across the street one kind of tree only turns to yellow and its that now, just stunning!

We also drive up north for the day in October to Algonquin Park, its spectactular, nothing can beat it!

Here in KY the leaves are just now starting to turn colors. Unfortunatley we have had such a dry summer some of the leaves have started to die and fall off before they have turned colors.

Our trees are still green but some are beginning to go yellow. There is a tree on the next street that is huge and it always goes yellow/orange right around now. Love October!

I was also born and raised in the midwest. Down here in SE Georgia, we MAY see some autumn colors around Thanksgiving.

I like the smell of burning leaves, the cool autumn wind blowing in my face, and the colorful view of the trees.

My sickly little tree in my front yard is always the first to change and drop its leaves...but we have tons of huge trees all over our neighborhood and we love to take walks just for the scenery. :-6
