The autumnal equinox will arrive soon – but when? The shorter days and cooler nights to follow will usher in a new season of vibrantly colored foliage throughout the area. Read about the status of fall colors. Read about the dozen best places in the Capital Region to view fall colors. See other leaf-peeping opportunities throughout New York. View a quick guide to the fall colors of tree leaves.
However, I invite you to view fall colors…from a different perspective (slide show or video). Most of these plants can be viewed in your community, your neighborhood, even in your own backyard.
