Skyline Drive

Fall is a beautiful time of year here. Especially before the rains hit.  The leaves are stunning and there are trees EVERYWHERE!  It is so different from out west. The aspens turning yellow in Colorado are beautiful, especially in the mountains, but the vast array of colors and especially the bright reds are nothing short of breathtaking.

Shenandoah National Park is about and hour and half away from home, and there is a road that goes through this portion of the mountains called "Skyline Drive".  You wind up and down the hills and it's a beautiful park and a perfect fall drive.  It was on my list of things to do this year- 27 things while I'm 27.  I was lucky enough to find a friend to go with me in the middle of the week so we could enjoy each other's company and avoid traffic. T'was a delightful evening. We went up in the late afternoon and stayed for sunset. Here's some of the pictorial evidence. And I have to admit openly, I lost my camera in NYC in October (the post is yet to come) so I borrowed my sister's and I had no idea how to use it, so I reverted to the oh so easy editing properties of picasa more than I typically do.
