Summer's Gone; Fall is Fleeting. Pics..

Not trying to sound like one of the Lake Poets on laudanum, but there is some beauty in the Fall faded flowers
and plants of summer. Up here at 5K feet elev., the perennials give it up early. There is some tree color expanding
down the mtns from higher to lower elevations, but it could be a so-so color season due to the much wetter than
normal growing season.

The faded guys are a variety of hosta, false solomon with red fall berries and purple cone flower, (echinacea for you supplement fans.)

Every day is a lil' different here from the old view, but it gets real interesting in mid Fall to early winter.

Since I hadn't posted "view pics" in about a week, I felt compelled to do so.

Thanks for looking.

I so enjoy your boring azz pics MD! Keep them coming. Now if I took fall shots you'd see them when trees started to bloom again.

Why does everyone have a nicer camera than I do? Awesome pics MD!

Looking forward to a drive along Skyline drive next weekend. This weekend seems to be just a tad before peak, and plus, the X is still in the dealer. Pontiacs aren't that fun.

Alex...No, you were on Skyline Dr., the section of the BRPkway quite a
bit north of us, in VA. (Also much lower elevation.)

Our house/"view point" in the pics, is at 5,000 ft elev., and we are looking
across the valley at 6,000 to 6,100 ft of elev. on those high peaks.

The final 60 miles or so, of the Blue Ridge Parkway from Asheville, NC, to its
"end" in Cherokee,NC, includes the "high point" of the BRPkway at 6100 ft. That
last 60 miles is way south of where I suspect you were tooling.
Hey, we never did hear about your trip!
BR,mD

Yo Matt, not sure I have a "nicer" camera...the close ups of the fading
plants were taken with my 4 yr midgi Canon S50...not very high tech
and a "pocket camera", but a helluva machine. The views were taken
with my newer Minolta 5D, DSLR...not a monster or even in the same
league as most of the Canon, Nikon, et al, DSLRS. I do have good lenses
on that Minolta, from my old film Minolta.

I shoot a lot and have been doing photography, as an amateur, for
45+ years...I think any decent cam will do the job. It takes awhile to
develop the "eye", imo. Keep plugging at it.
BR,mD
