The leaves are already starting to change color in the Colorado mountains. They say it's b/c of all of rain we got this summer. The moisture triggers early fall colors 🍂 to appear. They should peak in color mid-Sept through early Oct depending on the elevation.

Thanks! We are really enjoying our fall weather here in Pennsylvania. Beautiful days and cool nights. We could use some rain right about now, but can't have everything.

I am enjoying Fall weather, so much better than that horrible hot and humid weather that I so dislike. It is still warm and sunny but enjoyable and the nights cool which is great!!! I have energy, motivation to do things inside and outside, it's my time of year!!!!!!

It's still overly warm for us in the PNW--today near 80* and is hazy with wildfire smoke, so the sunshine is orange. Still have 400 fans blowing in my apt . Saw some color on the trees but not much.

@wagirl. Hope you cool off soon. I know such heat is unusual for you. I guess you have no AC.

Planning a drive when leaves are ready thinking Bailey or Foxton, only 45 minutes from here. Can't wait.

@rockygems123. There's nothing like a whole mountain of solid gold Aspens. I especially like the displays in the San Juans..

@Kachina624 , @rockygems123

Ouray area is where I'm headed in a couple of weeks. Friends there say don't wait too long b/c fall colors are happening now and will soon be gone before you know it. I love Ouray. Telluride, too. Could never afford to live there but I can still visit.

@SilleeMee. Be sure to ride the gondola, or whatever it's called, in Telluride . The view should be super spectacular. They say the leaves are early this year.

I've been on it! It's a great ride.

@SilleeMee. We've already had snow on the peaks around Taos, so I'm sure your mountains will have had a dusting too. Just sets off the leaf display.

Thank you and I am enjoying some great weather here. I love it with Halloween and Thanksgiving coming up. Not to mention my birthday at the end of this month!😉

What an absolutely adorable wee mouse! Here in the low desert of CA, it is still in the 100's with high humidity but I am hoping that this time next year we will be in western WA close to the coast where our dear son lives.

For all who are experiencing the beautiful weather, sights and smells of autumn, enjoy! Autumn is by far my favorite season!!! 🍂

@Kachina624

Is that a squirrel?

Re: For Those Having Fall Weather...Enjoy!

@Bonkers1

I think it looks more like a mouse. Those ears.

It might be a dormouse. Not a true mouse but still a rodent.

Kachina624 — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 02:08:02 GMT

The little creature was identified as a baby squirrel. It's features aren't sharp enough to be a mouse. So many species have different characteristics.

@Kachina624

A dormouse isn't in the mice family. Dormice are sometimes called 'micro squirrels' b/c they appear to look more like squirrels than mice.
