Fall foilage picture thread......

Ok, so it's not exactly foliage, but I just had to share this. It's a 342 lb pumpkin that my coworker grew in his yard. No photoshopping, this is real! He had 4 guys from work help him load it up this morning so he could weigh it on the freight scale at work. I love pumpkins, I think this is fantastic!

Well, it does!
C'mon, you can't deny it

Mmmm, PIE!

I'm not denying it! But I just had to squint and check, didn't I?

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!

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

Threads like this make me jealous, but not as jealous as they used to. I'm suddenly seeing some beauty in where I live. But, Fall, what's that? Is that the week between hot and dry and not so hot and dry?

Watch out for that coyote!

**Flybye** · 09-25-2007, 05:45 AM

Yeah, TS, that thing looks like it could really tear your leg off!!
It blends well with all of the fall colors

If you blink, you might not see it!!!

That's funny, I hadn't actually seen him! It's also funny, because it could rip your leg off - that is the meanest dog known to man. If he was any bigger, he would have been put to sleep, since he's less than 20 lbs and about 10 inches tall at the withers, I can control him and most people just laugh at him when he attacks.
There is also lots of coyote skat around this walk, never seen one here. I've seen several at another location that I walk. This location is about 100 yards from the Yakima river (thus the trees in the background, no river means no trees).
Later I'll attach another photo of the same walk with Murphy (the aforementioned dog) taking a dirt bath, he loves dirt baths.
