I’m off to the mountains today on a fall foliage pilgrimage. Hopefully I get a few decent pictures.
UPDATE: Funny story and tip from an outdoors guru: If you’re planning an outing to see fall colors, the last place you want to be is on the top of a mountain on a cloudy day. A couple reasons:
(1) There’s not much color at high elevations to begin with–it’s basically all evergreens at the top. Right now the good colors are down in the 2,000 to 4,000 foot range; which
(2) You obviously can’t see–even from afar–if there’s clouds blocking the view.
Oh, well, it was neat to sit on the summit and watch the clouds pass over the ridge. At one point I was completely enveloped by clouds except for a break directly overhead where the sun beamed through. Kind of had the feeling my soul was headed off into the great blue yonder. Or maybe that was just my mind trying distancing itself from my weary legs. Not sure which.
I did take a few pictures on Friday; I’ll post them once I get them processed.
