Got a few good pix at the metroparks on Saturday. Here are some of them for you to enjoy if you like that sort of thing. Lots of people don't like fall, they say it reminds them that winter is coming. I say, so what, it is beautiful. Enjoy.... ;D

I like these cattails a lot. Just something about the mist in the background and the sun glistening on the leaves with dew on them.

This railing was part of the walkway across the pond. I had to scrunch down so the sun's reflection in the water was behind the post. Sorry about the lens flares, although it does add a little something to the overall shot.

I love fall. I often take the longer, scenic routes to and from places just so I can look at the leaves. Western PA falls are pretty with all the hills and rivers...

Beautiful pictures, especially the first picture.

I love fall colors, which I now get to see more of since leaving LA (for which fall was actually fire season which sucked)

Lots of people don't like fall, they say it reminds them that winter is coming. I say, so what, it is beautiful. Enjoy...

I happen to love Winter as I cannot stand hot weather, and as well loved Winter Sports in my earlier years, I love the mountain snows of the Sierra Nevada and San Gabriel Mountains.

As for Fall, I love the chill of the mornings, the colors, AND the coming of Winter. What I personally do not like is the bad memories it brings which includes Christmas.

I really enjoy shooting at the park, so you will see additional pix when the leaves change a bit more. John
