Our summer rain and moderate temperatures brought out the color this fall. We're also at the right latitude for leaf color.

According to the state department of conservation and natural resources, Pennsylvania has "a longer and more varied fall foliage season than any other state in the nation--or anywhere in the world. Pennsylvania’s location between 40° and 42° North latitude and its varied topography from sea level on the coastal plain to over 3,000 feet in the Laurel Highlands supports 134 species of trees and many more shrubs and vines that contribute to the display of autumn color."
