It's not just my imagination that the fall leaves this year are the most colorful in recent memory. It's true! Local weather guru Cliff Mass did a blog post confirming this and detailing the conditions needed for spectacular fall color:

Here are some photos I took this past week just on one street in my neighborhood.
The colors are the same as in this quilt block that I did last year based on October colors:
Inside the house, the autumn colors continued with roasted sweet potatoes ...
... and a fall place setting. On the menu was a creamy tomato basil soup and sweet potato-cranberry-pecan salad with maple vinaigrette dressing. Yum!
Have a colorful day

These pictures are breath-taking! Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome pictures, Sherrie! And I read the explanation... very interesting. We didn't have as much rain this summer as normal, but I think in the Oak Creek area they had more which would explain the color explosion there this year. Love the colors!
Your foliage is so pretty there. Not so much here in Northern Indiana.
xx, Carol
