This could be interesting. I don't recall a Tall Flower Meadow in high bloom ever coinciding with strong fall color.

Fall Color Begins
The other worldly blue remains for now.
One more round of hurricane waters is on the way. The mood is changing.
This week it began to happen. The forest is lighting up in fall colors. It seems a week earlier this year.
It has been a rough year for leaves what with blackberry winter, hail and wet rot of every sort. The leaves are ready to call it quits. Next year will be better.
Usually by the time the leaves turn, the meadows have largely gone to white fluffy seed ready to take to the winds.
For now we wait on hurricane waters.

I was so hopeful that some of Delta's water would make it to our area. It didn't push quite so far North. BAH.... Despite the dryness in our area there are trees giving us that beautiful fall color. It seems there is more brown and yellow this year than the more vivid reds. I just wonder what this dryness will do to the trees. I guess we will see in the next couple of years or maybe sooner.
Sorry you are not getting any hurricane waters. I think the trees will be fine. They will just have smaller growth rings to mark this dry year. I wonder what the combination of ugly, damaged and sparse leaves with all this wet will do to the rings.
