sharksauce: I certainly am no local, because I think I pronounced it wrong for 30 or 40 years and only corrected myself a few years ago. Here's a guide to the correct pronunciation. However, I originally learned the incorrect pronunciation from a native.

Easiest way to tell if someone’s not a local is to ask them to pronounce Kancamagus — Neo knows what I mean.

Mid October, and the color change in north central rural Ohio has only just begun. Trees are more than 90% green. Although the slow change has been underway for two or more weeks.

any trout in those waters? One thing I can always count on when fishing for trout is a great view. They live in the most beautiful places.

Beautiful. Haven’t been over that road in a few years.

Nice photos, even those with less color on the water. That is an interesting way to measure fall foliage color intensity. Autumn here in Iowa is always hit or miss. We had snow yesterday and then 30 mph wind gusts, leaves came tumbling down.

Reminds me of some 1000 piece puzzles I used to do (LONG ago), like in high school. Not the toughest, but among the most (literally) picturesque.

Lovely, thank you! The colors are rather muted here in Central New York, too, and many leaves have been knocked off by the rain, so quite a few trees are bare without ever having shown much color. We drove through the Hudson Valley in eastern New York and the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts over the weekend, and the colors there were definitely brighter than here. But I was surprised to see that many trees there, even at the higher elevations, are still quite green — there were hillsides that were still almost completely green, with only a few splashes of color on a tree or two here an there. It’s all beautiful, anyway!

LOVE TO take that ride someday. If I come to your general area maybe we can meet for some leaf-peeping.

Heck, you could give tours.
