One of the few times I've ever been passed on a trail was when these two most gungho of trekkers raced past me into Fall Canyon. They of course had the advantage of not stopping every ten seconds to take photos.
Drottningholm Palace park in autumn
The Drottningholm Palace is the private residence of the Swedish royal family. It is located in Drottningholm. Built on the island Lovön (in Ekerö Municipality of Stockholm County), it is one of Sweden's Royal Palaces. It was originally built in the late 16th century.
Gustav III of Sweden took the initiative for what is sometimes called the English garden section of Drottningholm. This lies north of the baroque garden and consists of two ponds with canals, bridges, large open sections of grass, and trees in groups or avenues. Walkways are laid out throughout this large part of the park. Throughout this area "vistas" can be seen, cleared lines of sight that are intentionally constructed to draw the eye to a particular view.
Happy that I was able to get back on my walk today! Sure it was only 1/2 mile, but I will be back to my normal distance soon! Knowing that I was going to be taking it easy, I took along the camera and was able to get some fall leaves before they are all gone for the year. Yes, I DID have to get down on the ground, but not too bad getting myself back up again.
I've always wanted to catch a falling leaf in the air before it hit the ground and now I have one. I can't tell you how many "click-of'-the-button" I had to take to get this... but finally. I have no idea why I wanted to catch a falling leaf... I guess it's just a part of my heart. :-)
Who else is ready for..
Colorful leaves, hoodies, jeans and boots...
Crisp air, hot chocolate, cool nights...
Carving pumpkins, Halloween... and the beauty of fall...
DOLLY SODS WILDERNESS
WEST VIRGINIA
The fall colors were more subdued this year at the Sods. The Wildlife Trail has a large number of American Beech along its length and here we did find a few trees in peak color display.
Another of the many scenes I took on October 13th, 2007 of the Northwest Arm as the sun shone on the trees, revealing the first signs of Fall.

The top of the St Columba Falls is fed by the South George River in Pyengana, Tasmania. In the drier months (like here) the flow of the falls drops considerably. The St Columba Falls are among the highest in Tasmania at 90 metres.
You said you have chestnut hair
And a chestnut-like sparkle in your eyes
And it felt so good to be together, beloved,
Among the golden leaves, the wind, and the stars
When the wind pelted the chestnuts with hail
You suddenly whispered, lowering your voice,
I am leaving today, but where I'm going
I'll take with me this golden night
Beloved, beloved
Chestnuts are falling off of trees as before
Right under the feet of laughing couples
Like the russet one they hail down
When at night in the alley
The russet chestnut I gave you and my heart
And you said three words to me and nothing more
That you love me and the wind
Already the third autumn gilds the park
Chestnuts are falling off the trees for the third time
But your love is not returning to me
Although so many leaves and stars shine
And only a golden chestnut I still have
A small talisman of the happy days
And this simple autumn song
Which the wind may perhaps carry to you
Beloved, beloved
Chestnuts are falling off of trees as before
Right under the feet of laughing couples
Like the russet one they hail down
When at night in the alley
The russet chestnut I gave you and my heart
And you said three words to me and nothing more
That you love me and the wind x2
taken from
to see gold; go to the parks! :-)

A spring creek cascades across dark fractured granite, Yosemite National Park
Yosemite's Tioga Pass Road (Highway 120), which passes through the park and across the Sierra crest at Tioga Pass, opened earlier than usual this year. It was not the earliest recorded opening, but the very small snow pack of the winter season meant that in early May it looked much more like a typical June. There was some snow left on the ground, but rather than being the deep and compacted remains of months of winter snow it was mostly what was left from a single spring storm a few days earlier.
In a more typical year, a drive over this route on the opening weekend provides an experience that is, to my way of thinking, mostly about water. Not only do we get to see vast remaining snow banks holding water that will irrigate the Sierra for months to come, but the spring melt brings wild, watery scenes nearly everywhere. Waterfalls and creeks appear in places where there is almost no evidence of their existence weeks or months later. Creeks spill across the highway flood sections of it. Larger creeks and rivers overflow their banks and turn meadows into lakes. But not this year. The photograph features a small section of a larger cascade which bounces down a steep and rugged section of granite boulders. Beautiful as it is, it should look like this in late June rather than early May.
