Luxury of the Fall

Marichiko - wow!

But much as I can appreciate the beauty of your pics, I wouldn't want to be away from England at this time of year. I spent an Autumn in France one year and was horribly homesick.

Autumn is definitely my favourite season. I love the colours, the smells, the quality of the air, I even love the slight feeling of melancholy I get (which might just be bonfire smoke catching in my throat). Summer is usually too hot, too bright & too brash for me. Give me misty mornings, grass covered in frost and soft afternoon sunlight every day.....

I'll see if I can get some pics - they'll be laughably understated compared to Marichiko's spectacular scenery pf course!

Anyone headed for New England leaf peeping, I've been told the leaves are running 10 to 14 days behind schedule.
The tremendous rain storms in the past week may raise hell with that also.

Sundae Girl, I couldn't agree with you more about summer. I really do hate it and get very depressed July/August. This summer has seemed to go on forever with hot weather (like, in the 90's and humid) keeping us company until just last week!

PLEASE post whatever pics you've got! We all really love to see them!

And, Mari, those are some beautiful shots! Wow!

Thanks, Bri! I love those places. Camped on the side of darn near every mountain and driven every back road. You can see why I can't wait to get back home! Just a few more months and I'll be back there for good!

Can't resist two more pics and then I'll stop - I promise.

The first is looking directly down thru the cables at the town of Telluride just as the Gondola takes off, and the second is more of Lizard Head Pass, looking back toward the mountains to the West.

What, you didn't ride the train? Or do I have the wrong town?
