Seasonal changes provide lots of great information for condition monitoring reports. Perhaps there are migratory bird species visiting your fountains and feeders or fall vegetables you are beginning to harvest for cold weather soups and stews. If you are an observer in the mountains of the Carolinas, how are businesses fairing who cater to the 'leaf peepers' this time of year? If you are in the Piedmont region where we've received less rainfall recently, are you seeing any changes in water levels in nearby rivers or lakes? For those of you who have been recording observations for about a year, you could even look back at last year's reports to see what similarities or differences you might be observing this autumn.
Thanks again to the folks who have shared photos. Seeing images of the observations you record is a great addition to your condition monitoring reports. Keep up the great work!

| Donald Kunkle in Pomaria, SC shared this photo of a fire red Maple. He tells us that the Maples have retained more brilliantly colored leaves for a longer period of time this year than he can remember. |
