Still lots of colorful leaves on trees

Orleans County and Greater Niagara Region in peak foliage conditions

Photos by Tom Rivers: This tree has a full canopy of colorful leaves in Holley on Saturday. The East Avenue lift bridge is in the background.

The area may be in its peak for fall foliage, or slightly into “past peak.”

There are still lots of colorful leaves on the trees, but it may not last much longer.

I Love NY put Orleans County and the Greater Niagara region at peak conditions on Wednesday. Most other parts of the state – Chautauqua-Allegheny, Catskills, Central NY, 1,000 Islands and the Adirondacks – were deemed past peak.

This photo from today shows colorful leaves along the Erie Canal in Eagle Harbor with the lift bridge in the background.
