    You may not have the same kind of historic architecture to hand as we enjoy over this side of the giant pond Lois but your Autumn colours can’t be bettered anywhere, this one is an absolute beauty, Autumn at it’s most beautiful, very well captured,
    Regards, Rod.

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Thanks so much, Rod!! This one is from last year and was one of the first I took with the then-new Nikon. The colors last year were incredible … and each time we were up on the mountain the weather was perfection. This year … not so much!! I actually still have MORE in the computer here from last year!! LOL!!! I love fall / autumn, too!!!!
