Autumn is by far my favorite nature photography season<\/a>.\u00a0 I take more pictures in the fall than any other season of the year.<\/p>\n

Several years ago I looked at my “most favorite photos” folder and counted the number of nature photography photos taken in each season of the year.\u00a0 Here are the results.<\/p>\n

Winter \u2013 7%
\nSpring \u2013 19%
\nSummer \u2013 27%
\nFall \u2013 47%<\/span><\/p>\n

Early this fall I got the idea of tracking the fall season by choosing my favorite fall photos for each date. I was going to start September 23 in Colorado and end on November 17 in Iowa. Or so I thought. Then I remembered my fall in Alaska photos which began August 28 and I found fall photos in Ohio as late as December 18.<\/p>\n

The peak color season, at least in my photographs, overlaps in some of these states.<\/p>\n

Alaska:\u00a0 August 28 – September 1
\nColorado:\u00a0 September 23 – October 29
\nMichigan:\u00a0 October 8 – October 27
\nAcadia in Maine:\u00a0 October 18 – October 22
\nVermont: October 23
\nCalifornia: October 25
\nOhio: October 30 – December 18
\nIowa: November 4 – November 16<\/p>\n

Most of the photos I shared are from states where I have lived and go back to regularly.\u00a0 All of the Alaska Acadia, Vermont, and California photos are from vacation trips.<\/p>\n
