Where is the Fall Colour?

I've been watching for the leaves to change, as they typically do at this time of year, but it's not happening very much or very fast.  Half the White Ash have already lost their leaves, but the leaves just dried up and fell off.  I actually had to go out hunting to find even a few leaves showing signs of fall colour.

Perhaps it's the excessively warm September we've had, but most trees are still green.  I did find a few Red Maple leaves that are sort of half red.

The Silver Maple leaves tend to turn yellow rather than red.

The Sumach does turn brilliant red, but there are literally only a few bright spots in our big patch of them.

Admittedly, our Burning Bush by the front door is red.

And I did find some reddish-brown Red Oak leaves on one particular Oak Tree.  The rest are all green.

In comparison, these pictures are from October 1st last year.  I'll be reporting on how this year's fall colours turn out.  In the meantime, we enjoyed the beautiful warm October day and got some outside work done - until it got too hot!  In October!
