Please the apparent unicorn in the Baldwin, Colorado photo. Also the splendid orange of Hinckley Park in Maine gets my No. 1 vote.

America

Sweet
home Alabama fall color trails:
“As the greens of summer surrender to glittering yellow poplars, scarlet
dogwoods, orange maples and golden hickories, Alabama unfolds its patchwork
quilt of color. This blend of brilliant autumn foliage, coupled with cooler
temperatures and an occasional gentle breeze, makes for an unforgettable
experience.” The Farmers’ Almanac predicts the most probable 2013 peak colors
in Alabama will be from Oct. 19 – Nov. 4. This shot is of a group of
paddleboarders passing in front of bright fall foliage at Oak Mountain State
Park in Birmingham, Alabama. Photo #2 by The Birmingham

The
peak foliage dates for Arkansas were divided into two parts: Overall the dates
are Oct. 19 – Nov. 4, but the Arkansas Ozarks are predicted to peak between
Oct. 12 – 28. Although there were many gorgeous fall photos, this one won out
in our opinion due to the capture as well as the 300–year–old legend that goes along with Petit Jean State
Park Cedar Falls. Petit Jean was a French girl who disguised herself as a boy
so she could secretly accompany her sweetheart, an early explorer, to the New
World and to this Arkansas mountain. Photo #4 by Arkansas Department of
