Or not.
This fall has been weird. Its stayed VERY warm and dry. Maybe that's why the fall colors are very disappointing. At least to me. Went out hiking at one of my favorite spots to capture some color. But most of it escaped!
Lots of trees are still green. But its a kind of a dull, fading green. That seems to be turning gray. The trees that are yellow are mostly a very dull yellow. Hardly any bright fall colors anywhere. Just lots of muted colors and green-ish leaves. And other spots where all the leaves are down already. Color me unimpressed! But, lets try to salvage something anyway.
Probably one of my more picturesque shots of the day. A three shot pano of a beaver pond. Not my first choice for areas, but one of the more colorful areas I could find. Looks pretty good. Also, one of the few areas with any standing water. Many of the little marshy ponds here are totally dried up cracked mud.
Lots of rock features here. Lots of people climb those rocks. I just admire them. Picture was just ordinary, but I added an oil paint effect to make it a little different. I think it helped.
Last shot for this post. Just a collection of clouds cruising along the sky. Temps were upper 70s. Pretty nice for late September. On the right of the photo, the haziness is from smoke. There are some forest fires burning farther west and south of here, and smoke was just on the edge of where I was.
