How about some pics of the fall this year, places your E takes you. Since it snowed in Utah today, and these colors are probably gone from the trees in just a weeks time:shock:I thought I'd as least show a few. These are from Sunday the 27th in the evening on one of my favorite MTB trails.

The bottom of the trail off to the West:

Some other bikers coming down on my way up:

The beginning of the switchbacks:

Looking back down the valley I just rode up:

Probably the last day that felt like a summer day this season:

Aspens another mile up the hill:

On the way back down, after sunset:

These were all taken in the same hour and a half timeframe of the ride. This region has the best mix of tree types in the whole area for fall colors.

Let's see your fall colors when you get-em!

Hi Todd, great pics. Let me know if you ever want trade jobs and houses.

Here is my "So Cal" Fall color, it goes thru this phase and then it's a lot of black and grey.

Beautiful pics, E Biker!

I'm in FL too, so pretty much looks the same year round for me. LOL

Ditto here in SE TX, everything is still green, then they'll all just fall off:-(

BH, your element looks like it's in a parade, like someone mounted those signs right on it.

I could show you all the lovely shades of brown here in North Dakota, but it'd just be too depressing.

Why is that so true around here?:rolleyes:

E_Biker:

Beautiful place. I don't think I've seen so many different shades in one place before.

Here is one of an Aspen grove just starting to turn bright yellow-orange I found on a mountain quail hunt just West of the town of Bridgeport, CA. It was my E's first camping trip as well. Last week of September, I think.

I was going to take more pix of the place but got into a covey of Mountain Quail and forgot all about shooting pictures.

:grin:
