On four different occasions in the past few years, friends of ours have invited us to spend a weekend on their farm in rural Virginia, about 75 miles west of Washington, DC. You can see an overview of the photos I took of those visits in this Flickr collection, though several of the individual photos are restricted to "friends and family" on Flickr.
We went back for a fifth visit this past weekend, and I realized that it was much later in the year -- our previous visits had been in the spring, summer, and Labor Day weekend. Unlike Vermont and New Hampshire, rural Virginia is far enough south that there are still leaves on the trees in mid-November, and it still looks very much like autumn. I didn't see any of the bright, fiery red trees that one would see in Vermont, but there were lots of orange and yellow bushes, leaves, and trees all around.
About half of these photos were taken in the middle of the day, with fairly bright, direct sunlight. The other half were taken in the late afternoon, about an hour before sunset. I'm not sure what it would have been like at dawn, but I suspect the light would have been fantastic, and there probably would have been a little bit of mist and fog to focus on. But I was too lazy to get up at dawn, so all I've got to show you is the mid-day and afternoon scenery....
