Adventures in natural beauty

Today I had an unexpected adventure, a friend was taking the day off to hike and enjoy the fall colors and though I'm not a fan of hiking, I decided to go along. I am so glad I did, it's been a while since I've done fall colors up right and I was constantly saying "Wow!" the colors were so beautiful, it made me want to be a landscape painter, maybe even a plein air painter...almost. Here are some of the pictures, it was so much better in person though.
