It’s possible today is the last nice autumn day of the year at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska, Minnesota. I say this because, (1) according to the Fall Color Finder by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, my area is at near-peak (orange):

and (2) the next three days will be rainy and breezy, which will likely cause many of the leaves to fall.
Here are seven photos I took today between 10:19 and 11:03 a.m.
