The timing of Fall foliage varies quite a bit from year to year. Compare these two photos of the same location in Washington state, both within a day of the autumnal equinox, one in 2011 and the other in 2012!
The 2011 picture, with the brilliant red leaves, was taken on September 22, and the 2012 picture, with the trees still mostly green, was taken on September 23.
