New England and upstate New York have beautiful fall foliage, but we also have wonderful forests that show their colors right here in my home State of New Jersey. I remember how proud my husband was of the Aspen changing color in his home State of Colorado, and it is pretty, but it's only yellow...not our array of colors which include light reds, dark reds, yellows, oranges, tans, browns, green speckled with yellow and so much more.
I look forward to the start of the fall foliage season in September, and then October when the colors are at their peak. Being surrounded by a State forest and preserved "open space" land makes for wonderful drives viewing colors, with stops at orchards, pumpkin patches, to hike, or whatever we might want to do to take in the fall experience along the way.
So come along with me and enjoy colorful forests right here in New Jersey painted with God's paintbrush during the fall of each year.

Do you have seasons that change dramatically where you live?
@DerdriuMarriner I do feel so thankful to live in an area where nature surrounds us, that is a blessing indeed.
happynutritionist, Autumn's colors prettify all landscapes, and each location is beautiful in its own way. Differences in flora, geography, and light produce a spectacular array of colors which are enjoyed by many. It is heartwarming to think of those who make a point of looking out their windows or of venturing on road trips for the incomparable pleasure of enjoying nature's autumnal show.
Thank you &RuthCox - Ruthie it's really a blessing to be able to enjoy such a view. I don't take it for granted.
@Raintree and I'm sure it would be a treat to have you visit here:-) Thank you for your kind comment.
That view from your bedroom window is just gorgeous with the peaceful reflection over the water.
I love the autumn! Your views are amazing! Here in UK we get really beautiful colours as well. I would love to visit your area one day in the fall to see what you describe. Love that quote by Albert Camus, so true!
Thank you @Sylvestermouse Hope the voting feature was working and it was because you just couldn't decide:-) Yes, we're thankful for our beautiful view, I don't take it for granted.
I simply could not vote above! I love the fall colors and I love being surrounded by them. I have to admit, you photo from your bedroom shows a totally awesome view! I do think you have me beat for a window view :)
