have any leaves started changing in your area yet? for those in the southern hemisphere, have any flowers started blooming?

I've seen a few trees with colored leaves, but I have a feeling after this lastest cool snap there's going to be a lot more

Very few most of the leaves that have turned are actually brown instead of red or yellow.

Amazingly they have just started turning here. And we just got our first "real" rain last night here. Amazing because it's Oregon - It rains all the time right?

I love this time of year with the leaves turning the rain falling and the cool breezes through the window. Just makes me want to spend my day in the kitchen cooking and baking. LOL

There's a bit of color here, but I think it'll be a few weeks before leaves start falling in earnest.

You can definitely tell that it's autumn here. Overcast and raining. OK so that's not too different from the abysmal summer that we had, but it's colder. A few leaves on the ground but not much else.

Probably at work :(
Yes, they have started turning here in Asheville. That means for us locals to prepare for the "leaf lookers".
We are a tourist town, but its really busy around here this time of year.

No leaves are turning here, although the first day of Autumn was the 23rd, still 85-90 degrees every day. Had alot of rain that has greened the grass and we're still mowing the lawn.

Evergreen state = lots of evergreens. But those deciduous trees we DO have are turning red, at least a bit in the middle.

It's really funny that you asked this question because I was going to post a thread about how fall is really here! I'm at work today and my boss needed me to run to the post office. It's only about 2 blocks away so I just walked and I was noticing all the leaves on the ground and how everything is going from Summery green to Fallish brown and gold. So yes, the leaves have started changing colors in New York!!

Northern N.H. is 60% fall foliage color! The "leaf peepers" will be on their buses headed up here! Since it has been so dry, my red maple in my front yard is losing leaves and has been since August! Grrrrr....I wish that it would rain!

Yes, there have been colours for a couple of weeks at least, and some falling. It's quite breezy and fresh this morning, so I guess there will be more on the ground today. The peak of the colours will likely be around Thanksgiving (second week of October), and it will likely be two or three weeks after that, before the big blow that takes the rest down. But, it's Fall, no question about it.

Not quite, I guess they are sort of. Starting to look yellow. I can't wait till they do change though!
