Undoubtedly, my most favorite time of year, the leaves changing, the cooling down of the dog days of summer...not that there were many this year, but it is finally here...Autumn!
While living in Memphis and backpacking with my fellow Sierra Club members, we went on weekend trips to eastern Tennessee and western Arkansas. Climbing, rock faces, repelling, sleeping out under the glorious heavens at night. The mountains were magnificent. Warm, nearly balmy days, and cold, well, brisk nights.
Our favorite faire included homemade granola and S'mores made by roasting marshmallows over a blazing campfire.
I'd love to do that again, hike through the mountains on a wonderful Autumn weekend. I miss those days of roaming the wild outdoors, stopping to take pictures of the heavily lichen covered boulders.
The meandering stream in the valley below and the fantastic sunset on the mountaintops.
Now the picture above, was taken in Pennsylvania, where my husband was deployed with Department of Homeland Security several years ago. Yes, I do have my pics, but I haven't scanned them in the computer. Its amazing the colors are similarly the same only appearing earlier for the northeast.
