Somehow Bee manages to catch the brilliance of the season with his camera while my pictures can't seem to capture the bright beauty of the colors. MosquitoPat has it going on as well.
I don't know about you other northern guys but around here, this year the oaks are simply WOW! The wind and rain took off all the maple, birch, ash, cherry, etc. and all that's left is the oaks. I took 2 different drives today running errands in opposite directions and was impressed both ways. Can't remember when I've been so impressed with the browns and colors beyond with the oaks. If I get a chance tomorrow I'll see if I can't snap a picture or 2 of a hillside here or there but I'm sure it won't fully capture them.
Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.
