Dont have any pictures.... but here is a word picture for you.
October Maples, Portland
The leaves, though little time they have to live,
Were never so unfallen as today,
And seem to yield us through a rustled sieve
The very light from which time fell away.
A showered fire we thought forever lost
Redeems the air. Where friends in passing meet,
They parley in the tongues of Pentecost.
Gold ranks of temples flank the dazzled street.
It is a light of maples, and will go;
But not before it washes eye and brain
With such a tincture, such a sanguine glow
As cannot fail to leave a lasting stain.
So Mary's laundered mantle (in a tale
Which, like all pretty tales, may be true),
Spread on the rosemary-bush, so drenched the pale
Slight blooms in its irradiated hue,
They could not choose but to return in blue.
Richard Wilbur

Till Oct 1st??? Thats not long enough for personally taken pics.
Also, don't you think the pics SHOULD be from ones own camera? What about copyrights?
Sorry, don't mean to rain on your contest. Just rambling...
I also have an alterior motive...I have a huge hill behind my house that is just starting to turn...you have never seen such a scene. But it won't be at peak by Oct 1st. Thats a tad too early.

LadyRev is right.
The peak foliage in Maine is usually the 1st and 2nd weeks in October. Push the date back a couple of more weeks for those who live more northerly, please.
