Nature sure puts on a show before the dead of winter, and I mean dead. Then we can't wait for May Day still celebrated on 1 May in many parts of Europe when they dance around the May Pole. Oktoberfest is something new actually, and I'm glad for it, a time of wonderful food, and the nectar of the gods... BEER. Frankly I'd rather celebrate in Europe, American beer is panther piss, and so called "imported" beer is brewed here under license to American panther piss standards.

That grump out of the way, here's the U. S. fall color map for today, Saturn's Day 5 October. Sorry COR, using my VPN that fools search engines into thinking I'm in Switzerland, still I couldn't find one for Europe.
