Our "tour" of the US Southwest was longer and dryer, but they don't 
get nearly as the much of the color that we enjoy in the more 
temperate parts of the US. Nice pictures, John. Back here at home we 
have oak trees, which only turn brown, but the last 500 miles thru 
Nebraska and Iowa had lots of the yellow and red from maple and 
sumac. Driving thru Nebraska, it was also interesting to be able to 
see exactly where the Platt river was by the yellow leaves of the 
cottonwood trees that follow that riverbed.  

The last day we were driving just behind a rain front that seemed to 
be keeping pace just ahead of us, so most of our last day's driving 
had lots of green as well as the fall tree colors. Arriving in 
Madison, we find our neighborhood carpeted in wet, brown oak leaves, 
with just a few more colorful standouts.
