Minnesotans tired of summer, take note -- the state's Department of Natural Resources posted the year's first fall color report on its website Thursday.

The website features a color-coded map that allows visitors to track the peak "fall color" days by region. For now, the entire state is tinted pale green - a color designated for areas where leaves have barely begun to change color.
