This is what is mentioned in Wikipedia about the fall colors.
" Autumn leaf color is a phenomenon that affects the normally green leaves of many deciduous trees and shrubs by which they take on, during a few weeks in the autumn season, various shades of red, yellow, purple, and brown. The phenomenon is commonly called autumn colours or autumn foliage in British English and fall colors, fall foliage, or simply foliage in American English. In some areas of Canada and the United States, "leaf peeping" tourism is a major tourist activity occurs between the beginning of color changes and the onset of leaf fall. Although some autumn coloration occurs wherever deciduous trees are found, the most brightly colored autumn foliage is found in four or five regions of the world: most of southern mainland Canada; most of the eastern part of the United States as well as smaller areas of forest further west; Scandinavia, Northern, and Western Europe north of the Alps; the Caucasus region near the Black Sea, Russia and Eastern Asia, including much of northern and eastern China, as well as Argentina, Chile, southern Brazil, Korea, Japan and New Zealand's South Island. Eastern Canada and the New England region of the United States are famous around the world[19] for the brilliance of their "fall foliage," and a seasonal tourist industry has grown up around the few weeks in autumn when the leaves are at their peak. Thick forest cover and distinct seasonal changes make this part of the world an ideal setting for the types of deciduous trees that produce wonderful fall foliage. Fall colors are typically at their peaks in early to mid October for much of the northern and interior parts of the area, late October for areas further south, and early November for the warmer subtropical areas of the region."
Though, I visited USA a few times, I never had been there during the fall and therefore, I missed the opportunity to view this spectacle. However, during my visit this year I made it a point to stay there in October and visit some places where the colors are said to be very scenic. I visited the following places.
Pennsylvania
New Jersey
Upstate New York
My experience had been mind boggling looking at the spectacle of so many hues the leaves thrown and I was simply amazed looking at those forests. The fallen leaves gave me wonderful opportunity to shoot several satisfying pictures
I shot pictures with my D300 and Nikon 17-55/2.8 lens extensively during my visits.
Some of the pictures are here
