The colors are changing on leaves around the state, with some places ahead of others.

In Orleans County, the changes are still early, with only 15 percent change in Albion “with muted-to-average red and yellow shades,” according to today’s Fall Foliage report released by I Love NY.

Erie and Genesee County are at about 30 percent change, with Wyoming at 65 percent, according to spotters highlighted in the report.

Other parts of the state are near peak foliage, including the higher elevations of the Adirondacks, the northern Catskills, the southwestern portion of the Finger Lakes and much of the southern portion of the Chautauqua-Allegheny region.

I Love NY released this report today of the fall foliage status around the state.
