The recent rainfall may have shortened the amount of time that's left to enjoy this year's fall foliage.
- But, you can live vicariously through other Axios Dallas readers.
State of snap: On Monday, we asked readers to share photos of fall foliage.
- We got some really beautiful submissions from all over the region, from parks around Dallas to the countryside in Melissa.
The result: Our favorite submission was from Javan T., whose fall foliage photo incorporated the Shock Wave at Six Flags Over Texas.
- Charles W., of Azle, reminded us that fall isn't just for humans. His rescued squirrel, Sid, was the star of his photo.
- And Chris B. showed us a gingko tree on the Hockaday campus. "Even though a lot of leaves fell over the weekend, it looks beautiful with the leaves on the ground," Chris says.
Fun fact: There's an easy way to preserve fall colors, found in the book and digital platform "1000 Hours Outside."
How it works: Press some colorful leaves in a book for a few days — we skipped this step and still had stellar results — then melt beeswax tea lights in a double boiler until you have a pool of hot wax.
- Dip the leaves in the wax and let them dry on wax paper.
