In mid-Michigan, we didn't have a lot of color compared to previous years.   My wife and I traveled to Tahquamenon Falls in late September and the colors were almost peak there.    My brother just returned from his trip to Acadia national park and said the colors in New Hampshire and Vermont were just amazing, the best he's ever seen and he lives in Colorado.     It definitely is the prettiest time of the year but the leaves sure play havoc trying to find golf balls.  

Just be glad you have colors. Fall lasts about two weeks around here and there ain’t nothing “pretty” about it lol. 

We didn't get much for color this year.  It was still 90 degrees in mid/late October.  Then about as quick as it started raining on Forrest Gump in Nam, it turned cold.  Leaves just died and started falling.
