Finding a waterfall at the end of a trail is like icing on a cake, most hikes are filled with wonderful scenery. Fall Creek Falls trail near Glide has an incredible variety of greens and browns underneath a high canopy of green in a small canyon.

These leaves pile up right where my driveway meets the garage, and they get run over, more come, and they make a lovely melange that intrigues me every day.

For the last three years I have taken a picture of this tree (or trees, but specifically the one up front). This year, it appeared much more yellow than in the past.

Not sure if it is an "epic" year, but good, nonetheless.

"Sunset Fall"

Bryce Canyon, Utah, USA

Bryce Canyon always sports a surprise, and this particular visit in November was not an exception. I expected the fall leaves to have already disappeared, but to my good fortune they were still out in force. I captured this sunrise just below the rim at Sunset Point. Processed with three images in Photomatix and Lightroom, then converted to a digital paint scene via Topaz Adjust in Photoshop.

I get to see more of any stunning skies that may be on offer after the clocks go back. Whereas before I was generally at home, looking wistfully out of the window whilst (lovingly) refereeing some kind of fracas between the offspring.

Hero Arts Stamps:

Decorative Corners LL110 (Purchased 2006)

Fall Memories E3375 (Purchased 2005)

I am currently taking the online Kick Start Class that is hosted by Kristina Werner and Jennifer McGuire this week and it has been lots of fun. Thursday's homework for Kick Start (day 4) was to do the following: "take a look around your craftroom for a card you created in the past and try giving it a new life". Or, Dig deep into your storage to find some old product that you still love". I decided to look at some of my old stamps and these two stamps is what I found. My original plan for this card was to have my panel of squares on the right side of the card, but at the last minute I decided that it looked better on the left. I stamped each decorative corners twice to form squares. I also used the colors for the Hero Arts color challenge and turned it into a fall card. I wanted my card to have some dimention so I placed the squares and hearts on dimentional adhesive.

These stamps have been in my craft room for awhile and the decorative corner stamps have been in my stash since 2006 and this is the first time that I used them. Thanks for stopping by and I do appreciate the comments.

I try not to repeat posts, lord knows I have enough photos I haven't yet shared. But as we're in the middle of peak fall foliage, I would be remiss if I didn't share this shot. In 2018, we went for a ride to see the foliage in the mountains, and as we climbed through the notch, I KNEW I needed this shot. Gateway, as this location is known, only works when it's cloudy out. The low-hanging clouds were a contrast to the resplendent foliage, and I knew the 4266 was leading the notch train on this particular day. As I looked through the view finder, holding it down to go as fast as my camera would shoot, I knew I had THE shot.

I just want to thank Jeff for being so nice as to lend me a cart so that I & Andrea could ride around and take Fall color shots on his magnificent course...... Wow....what a beauty it was.....

I shall return my friend..... thank you

I've fallen way behind with my photo uploading here - this was taken nearly three weeks ago. It was a spectacular (and long) day of shooting. I had gone up camping with Zack Andrews, and we woke up early that morning at Steele Creek along the Buffalo River. From there we went through Boxley Valley, hiked to Hawksbill Crag and then drove over to visit these falls. It's a beautiful spot, and one of my favorite waterfalls in the state. It's very easy to reach, the road passes right by the top of the falls. There are several other waterfalls nearby, all of which can be reached by the same dirt road (which does get a bit bumpy after you pass these falls).

The area down here at the base of the falls was filled with debris from the ice storm. We had about three weeks of rain in May, which had the creek running full-tilt (for a shot of what that looked like, see Clay Wells' shot from May: www.flickr.com/photos/cwellsphotography/3498048835/in/set... ). The high waters picked up a lot of fallen tree limbs from the ice storm and deposited them among the trees here, creating a messy tangle. The area was already tricky to get around in before, but very difficult now. It's still really prety though...

Falling Water Falls are located about 50 miles or so north of Russellville, Arkansas. Falling Water Creek can be reached via the Falling Water Road, located in the Ozark National Forest.

Historic Guffey Bridge and Butte sporting their fall colors. This RR bridge was built to carry gold and silver from Silver City to the valley but the gold rush crashed before it could be used. When ranchers settled the area this trestle carried more cattle and sheep than any other cargo.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - After spending the afternoon in the mountains I descended to the foothills to catch the sunset. The color in the cirrus clouds did not last long.

I was out mushrooming in the woods way off the beaten path and only had my cell phone tp grab some pictures

I recently spent a week in Maine on my annual fall photography trip. Typically, I stay and spend the entire week in and around Acadia National Park, gaining familiarity on each visit. Changing things up a bit this year, I decided to explore less crowded areas of the state, moving around every few days. This was from a frigid morning in Baxter State Park when the light and conditions were at their best. The frosty landscape glistened as the first rays of light flooded the area, creating such a magical scene. It makes those chilly mornings totally worth it once light enters into the equation.

Montgomery, Texas-- " Selfie " in a reflective garden sphere.

When the moon, after covering herself with darkness as in sorrow, at last throws off the garments of her widowhood, she does not at once expose herself impudently to the public gaze; but for a time remains veiled in a transparent cloud, till she gradually acquires courage to endure the looks and admiration of beholders. ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827
