October 8
Larch trees, the only northern deciduous conifers, turn brilliant yellow.
October 10
Peek inside goldenrod flowers and you may find yellow crab spiders.

Look for miniature white parachutes floating in the air; they are milkweed seeds adrift after the pods have burst open.
October 27
Supermoon, the third and last of the year; this full moon appears lighter and brighter than most because it is closer to the earth than usual.
October 28
