Just starting to change in Southwest Pennsylvania

Took these earlier today. Leaves are just starting to change.




 
Photos from a couple of years ago, but this is Henry's Bend, PA, on the Allegheny River. My little slice of heaven on earth...

Went up to Brainerd MN in search of foliage last weekend. It was OK. but I'm from new England, the land of reds and maples. Minnesota? Lots of gold from birch and ashes.

It's nice, but it ain't "home."

It has been very warm in New Mexico and the color change is just barely starting. This is Sierra Blanca at just under 12,000 feet MSL.

1-week later

May not have hit peak color yet but this may be the best photo I can get this year. Am afraid that Wx will get bad and the leaves will be on the ground before I can get more photos.

Right after take off from Runway 23, I took this photo before heading east for the rest that follows.







All photos in the message taken with an iPhone 5S.

This is the town of Rangeley, Maine where I have my second home. The foliage this year was exceptional!

Door County Wisconsin

Ron Moring and I flew up to Door County, WI this past Sunday. Picked up some smoked fish, local jam, had a great lunch and chased each other around the peninsula for a while. Great time.

The colors were a bit past peak, but I was surprised there were leaves left at all. Apparently the surrounding water keeps the area warmer at night than the mainland, and that delays the color. Twas a beautiful day!

Michigan late October

Made a breakfast run to Harrison Michigan from Sparta Michigan. Not much color left but a beautiful flight anyway.

I proposed to my now wife at Cave Point in Door County after faking an inflight "issue" and being "forced" to land at the local airport. Beautiful place, stayed in a one room cottage on the canal and had a blast. Looking forward to flying the RV there one day!
 
New England Flight

Took this yesterday heading West out of Rhode Island. Photo taken in the vicinity of where Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island meet.



When I stopped for $3.95 USD/Gallon AvGas in NY, I liked the way this looked so grabbed a quick iPhone image.

The landing and refuel at KSPA makes South Carolina the 45th state that my RV and I have landed in.
