    Here are some fall colors. I have been gimping around and not able to get the pictures that I want, I took many from a moving car, which often leaves pictures blurry, and reflections from the car windows. I can't drive, so I tag along with others, and get the best that I can. Here are a few that I liked.

    I think snow is a fall color, isn't it?

    I like summer soooo much better. I'm so not ready for this stuff you call snow.

    What a lovely burst of colour your photographs are Tom. :D I suppose I'd better get ready for that white stuff appearing here soon.

    Thanks for the pics. They are wonderful and probably as much color as I will see this year. We were expecting the trees to turn next week. Instead we got a hard frost and snow last night. This is what we woke up to this morning.

    Love the autumn colors,

    I have one or two from last year, certainly one is current this year but they need adding to my albums.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I love autumn and I get excited to see a sprinkling of snow also. Am I normal? :)

    Great photos Tom.

    Frank and I think you and I might be the only normal ones here...the colors of Autumn and the snow in any amount are the most beautiful things I have seen.

    I have a wallpaper photo that is almost exactly like you picture #8, time to do some clicking and get it back on screen.

    Gasp!! Snow? Oh, dear, I'm not at all ready for that. Thankfully we're a long way behind you. Gorgeous colors. I especially like the #7 and 8 - the contrasts between the tree trunks and the green and colorful leaves... Evokes lots of bittersweet feelings for me.

    I'm glad you could get us a few shots. what would the new season be without them? -- I hope your recovery is going well, Tom.

    Lovely colour! But I don't like autumn, and I don't like snow either except from in December, January and February. It's so dark here then, and the snow brightens everything if only we get it.

    You do live in God's country don't you? Beautiful, beautiful photos. I've been away from the stew for a while, just too busy at work. What happened to you? Are you ok? :)
