Check in Question! What’s your favorite leaf color?
I like yellow. They seem to stand out the best. But a bright red is so beautiful!
In fall, I like the leaves that are a mixture of colors, like red and orange or orange and yellow on a single leaf.

I really like the yellow of gingko trees – they are stunning when the whole tree changes at once!

Red from Maple trees. We didn’t have red fall colours in the west so I’m thoroughly enjoying them now in the east.

That’s so interesting about west vs east! Wonder why? Is the climate that different? I always heard that it takes a cold snap to make the colors change – when our weather has been mild all fall, we don’t see the vivid colors like we do in certain years with a definite cold snap (at least in my experience)

Growing up in Alaska, our leaves didn’t get pretty colors either-- mostly brown.

I grew up mostly in the south, and the leaves just turned brown there, too. When I first moved to Illinois, I took lots of pictures of colorful fall foliage, because it was new to me.

It has to do with what trees grow where. Maple is not a native species in the west, people have tried planting them but they don’t do well because of the shorter summer season. In Alberta, the leaves started turning as the weather cooled down, nothing to do with frost. Here in PEI, nothing changes until the first frost happens, usually the end of September but we visited here once mid-October and everything was still green.
Before they married our sons, both DILs lived out west for a bit and both complained about the lack of red in the fall.
As beautiful as the reds are here, I miss driving into the mountains on a cool fall morning, seeing vibrant yellow covering them.

Our leaves here where I live, turn beautiful golds, reds, oranges… We have many different types of trees. Some years are better than others tho on how vibrant they are. Rain fall ( to much or to little), shorter sunlight and cooler temps. But normally we do have some magnificent foliage. I pretty much like all the colors but I think the deep reds and some purple (kinda a burgundy) are my favorite.
