Houzz Contributor. Hi there! I live in a 1940s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia.

Houzz readers: We want to see how beautiful the 2016 fall color is where you live. Please shoot a photo of your favorite autumn tree and post it — along with the tree’s location — in the Comments below. Of course, we have different fall-foliage peaks around North America, so if you’re waiting for that gingko tree to go full gold before snapping your shot, that’s fine. We want to keep seeing these beautiful trees at their peak for as long as they last.
This gorgeous Japanese maple tree is at its full crimson glory in the Washington, D.C., area. Even after those leaves drop to the ground, its lovely sculptural form will enchant through the winter.
Tell us: Do you look forward to seeing a particular tree’s fall colors every year?

Down South, the full range of color doesn’t come quite as easily as it does up north. But these Chinese pistache trees in Alabama make this lovely yard even more inviting when they turn golden yellow.
Tell us: Did you consider autumn color when planning your landscape? We’d love to see your garden in full fall glory.

Do you have a favorite spot where you enjoy your favorite fall tree? This bench in Toronto provides a relaxing place to sit and enjoy the dappled sunlight through the katsura tree’s soft yellow leaves.
Your turn: Please take a photo of your favorite fall tree and share it with us in the Comments below. Please tell us its location and when you took the photo. It will be fun to track peak season all over the country!
