Some more fall colors

This time I will start with a "close-up." Here is a little evergreen, surrounded with its perennial neighbors in their changing colors.


Then there were the full grown unashamedly changelings:


And then, there was this one (actually a cropped photo - my equipment doesn't frame stuff this well!) which I named "Americana." Note the "spacious skies," "the purple mountains" and even the "amber waves of grain."


Then we got a little closer to one of the mountains:


And then a little further away again.


Well, I guess I'll get back to "serious" stuff soon enough. I hope anyone who comes this way enjoys the shots.

A Saturday afternoon drive

We started out south on I-385. Debbie had said the colors were good down Simpsonville way.


We ended up cutting over to Woodruff and up I-26 (pictures not shown), and then up I-85 (we got some video - I'll try to get some up if anyone wants to see. Just before Gafney, we got off at a rest area. The moon was in the sky.




And the sun shone through the trees.



Turning down Scenic Highway 11 we come upon this "piece of America" - you know, "spacious skies, purple mountain's majesty, and amber waves of grain." Not to mention an RV or two.



Finally, as we turned down Highway 25, we said good bye to the colors, and hello to a beautiful sunset.


In all we took over fifty pictures and a few videos. It was a good afternoon.
