Fall Colors in the Pacific Northwest

I know this picture doesn't hold a candle to the fiery Autumn colors you guys get in New England...



but we are known as The Evergreen State, after all. Not too bad if I do say so, myself.

This shot was taken looking east from Silverton on the Mountain Loop Highway.

 

Nice picture Gamuru

If I get out to the Laurel Highlands this weekend, I'll snap some shots of the PA fall leaves. I am starting to see a lot of bright reds and oranges.

I hope it stays around for my wedding on the 27th.

 

Yeah, Don, I was on that road on my bike Saturday. I didn't have my camera with me, though. :roll: If the sun comes out again this fall, I'll have to get shooting. Thanks for the pic.

 

That's awesome....

It makes me miss Upper Michigan - this time of year the trees turn bright-red, and on a sunny day they're almost hard to look at.

 

i wish lubbock texas looked like that just one day a year. i would even go for a tree that is over 8 feet tall. :roll:

 

We are approching Peak ... The "Leaf Peeper" Bus Tours are starting-up going up into NH ...

Weather permitting ... I'll hop on the Max and zoom up to an overlook and snap a pic or two.

Then, I have to appeal to the Big-Shot's for a little bit more photo space or just put them in my Album.

 

Here the cactus is the same color all year round.

 

Well weather looks good for Sunday, 72 and sunny. Looks like I'll make it out after all.

 

Well, Oklahoma weather struck again last night... I have 2 huge branches laying in the back yard and our 30 ft. bradford pear is now 6 ft, thanks to 70mph winds. :-(

 

Don,

When my wife moved from the Seattle area to Arkansas she was really blown away by fall, and having grown up there and in Florida really hadn’t prepared her for trees that turn colors and fall away. She wondered why she had never paid any attention to the leaves before, and then later realized that they were the Evergreen state, and that’s why she had been so oblivious. Now we live in Philly and the only change in seasons here seems to be when our neighbor down the street changes her decorations on the house.

So for Washington, that is a great shot.

Jon

 

CONGRATULATIONS!!

 

The weatherman has ordered a batch of wind for us, tonight, too. We'll see if it arrives or not.

jdpesz, if you get over this way again, pm me and I'll meet up with you.

I look forward to seeing some of your own pictures from around the countryside.

 

Thank you! I have convinced the fiance that it would be a good idea for her to ride 2-up with me this weekend for the fall leaf viewing. Should be a great ride.

 

For all those who are not blessed with New England colors, here you go!Fall In New England

 

I especially liked image six! Thanks for sharing.

 

Man.... makes me wish I could blow off work tomorrow and get some pictures out on the Blue Ridge Parkway.... or even out front of my house, great view, lots of colors. I just hope the winds stay away till monday so that I can get some with my wife 2 up on the parkway. We shall see.

 

Well we rode down to Ohiopyle today. The trees were beautiful through the Laurel Highlands. Here are a few of the pictures we took.

Enjoy!!

 

Very nice!!

Looks like a nice area to ride to. How were the temps?

 

It was an unseasonably warm 76 degrees and sunny. It was probably the last day of its kind for the year...well other than today.

 

Some other pictures from my riding buddies who went north this weekend in to northwestern and northcentral PA.

CLICKY!!

 

The colors are great. The items that made me think of the Southertier of NY state are the wet leaves and the deer crossing sign. Never a fun combination, but beautiful to look at.

 

I'll miss the fall if I ever move out of PA...which may be sooner than later.

 

PghXJ,
What exactly does yinz mean????

 

Sorry,
also Younz ???

 

Ahh yes, Pittsburghese. Please see this small Pittsburghese dictionary

http://www.sesraw.com/Birdra/pitt.htm

It is spelled yunz, but no one in Pittsburgh can spell, so the spelling varies.

 

My father grew up in Waynesburg PA which is 1 hourish south of "Da Burg".
I'm failliar with some of those terms, I used to play down in Ruff Crick behind my grand mothers house.

 

yeah, growing up in Waynesburg, I am sure he is very familiar with a lot of those terms. I've never been dahn 'er in Waynesburg, but i'm gessing it's one a dem wooded areas n'at.

lol
