SOOC colors. Not every day brings shots like these. I take photos every day, but with greatly varying results, This is the purest color of the season so far - it reminds me of the color slides I used to take using Kodachrome film. I credit the clear, low humidity air that day.
This is a older photo of an amazing display of light during Hurricane Matthew in 2016. The conditions were crazy that day so most of it was spent driving up and down the parkway with some stops for brief hikes. The late afternoon drive some amazing opportunities. The light rays started as subtle and spread out and then transitioned to defined clusters and the show ended with this last cluster of rays breaking through the storm clouds.

I heard it was because it was so dry in New England this year (and colder than usual.) This is near wetlands, where the color changes first, but it is still September.
This was taken on Nov 24th, 2009 from one of the overlooks along the road to Crater Lake. I went to this spot a few days ago (Nov 21, 2010), almost one year to the day, and saw the exact same scene... This shot begged to be posted -- Delaware Water Gap NRA

Morristown is the county seat of Morris County in New Jersey located about 25 miles from New York City. It is a city rich with history, a key location for the Continental army not one winter but two winters during the American Revolution. Morristown was originally settled by English Presbyterians in 1715. At Dickerson’s Tavern on Spring Street Benedict Arnold was court-martialed because of charges that he was guilty of profiteering from military supplies in Philadelphia. Founding father Alexander Hamilton met and courted his wife Betsy Schuyler who was from Albany but her family kept a home in Morristown. This image is of the fall foliage in early November 2014, as it is basically at peak with all variation of leaf color visible from this vantage point.
With the entire weekend consisting of heavy grey skies, rain, snow, and mist, cabin fever started to creep in. A walk was in order and I took a camera along - finding some interesting (to me) abstracts with colorful fall reflections. In this image, I liked the ring of water, which added to a Zen-like feel.
November the 20th and the In Search of Fall Colors finds the Mighty Red Oak in full glory in the Woods of Virginia.

Along the northern edge of the hayfield, these oaks get full sun, which they love. They were little trees when we moved here 35 years ago.
