Saw these beauties whilst riding near our cabin in Island Park, Idaho (not at all a tropical place despite the word "island") and thought I would share the picture. I am sure we'd all love to see some pictures from other parts of the US and elsewhere of fall in full swing. Please share your fall riding pictures with us....
Love fall!!
If only we could skip winter, hmmm........
Flybye,
Thanks for the picture. What a great idea for a new thread:) :) Glad to see you were able to ride. I hope to ride the afternoon in Pocatello. Can you join me?
Yes, what a lovely pic and great idea for a thread. I think I will ask for my own camera for Christmas and then learn how to post pics.

Oh, jeez. I haven't been able to get up there in several years now. Sniff. The pelicans above Osborne Bridge. The middle fork float. The swans. Sniff.
These aren't from this year, but these are some of my favorite fall color photos from some of my previous rides.

Buddleia leaves at the plant where I work
An old one as well, but hopefully I will get more this weekend up at the Catskills.
This was taken in NC:

Very cool little place.
You can come with me next time!! Don't cry.... waaaa... okay, now I am crying!Quote:

Hmmm, now you and Shiraz both have me thinking........
Wouldn't that be fun??? TE takes to Mesa Falls Scenic Byway and then sacks out at Flybye's family cabin? By the way, we have a 5 gallon water heater, we'd really have to plan out those showers.
Shiraz, thanks for the call! I wish I could make the ride tonight. Next time....
Oh, your pictures are all so pretty :D :D :D :D :D :D
Did I mention that I love fall??
Beautiful pictures & a great idea for a thread. Not much in leaf color down here in VA yet (except for green) I will be sure to take some once the change begins - but be prepared to wait about a month.
Meanwhile, this is by my front door. :rolleyes:
I just love this time of year. The colors are beautiful and temperatures are perfect.. Thanks for showing your pics!!
Thanks for the pics. Its been ages since I've seen fall. When I was a kid we would go up and see the Aspen turning.
Oh cool - I've hiked at Stone Mountain. Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the photo....Quote:

Here's one I took last Fall near my old office. I always loved this big old tree.

Your pictures are simply gorgeous!!! What a great thread. LOVE seeing colors from other places.
No turning colors here just yet, but when they start changing, I'll snap some pics. We don't have nearly as many trees around here as some of you (NC, VA, ID, etc), but the few we have can be quite pretty!
Here in central Texas we don't have much in the way of fall foliage....so please keep posting pics....I miss Pennsylvania in the fall. :(
So far, the only leaves changing here are the ones on the trees that are dying from the drought! :eek: But here are a couple from last year - in NC

Meh. Why have autumn when you can have this:
No candy corn - sorry Zen! It's an enameled aluminum wreath on top of a grapevine.....Quote:

Taken last year on my way home from a mtb ride...
Here's one I took on Peaks Island, ME on Sunday. I rode my bike around Portland and took the ferry out to the island. The day before I rode the 8-Lighthouse Ride in Portland. 46 miles instead of 40, because the person I was with made a wrong turn! But it's the farthest I've ever gone. :)

It is sooooo cool when you go just a bit further then you ever have. Besides it looks like it was a wonderful afternoon for a ride.Quote:

if you squint it looks like a big butt :eek:
Holey Moley!!! IT'S HUGE, I TELL YOU, HUGE...
Wow!
Thanks for that!
Sometimes I hate you. :pQuote:

I'm not denying it! But I just had to squint and check, didn't I? :rolleyes:
We rode 30 miles from the west entrance of Yellowstone into the park. Here are a couple of pictures of the leaves up thata' way -
The first picture is of the climb up the hill in Ashton, about 40 miles from Yellowstone - it was a hazy day - must have been a fire somewhere.
The second picture is in the park. The area that we rode through is beautiful, although there isn't too much for foilage because of the 88 fire in Yellowstone. I will post more picts of our ride that aren't fall related on another thread.
Beautiful pictures. I'll be sure to get some from around here.
Fall just amazes me. Its so pretty. I haven't seen it in 10 years (7 years in Phoenix and then 3 years in Cold Bay, AK). I'm enjoying every day looking up to the mountains, seeing the leaves change and the termination dust. Everyone hates me around here, but I'm excited for the snow!
Well, even though it's officially Fall, the temps are still pretty warm up here, so the colors haven't really gotten too bright. There are a few signs of Autumn, though... some pictures from my weekend in the Catskills.

LOL, It does, and I thought only I thought of crazy things like that. It makes me wonder where our minds go sometimes:pQuote:

Watch out for that coyote!
