I went to a nearby state park on my day off. It’s the one I usually go to, as it’s nearby, quiet, and full of trees, but the fall colors have been especially bright around here this year, so I wanted to go while the color was at its peak. I didn’t get as many photographs of the little waterfall as I usually do, but I did go farther downstream than I usually do. An a little farther upstream, too.
I had the place entirely to myself for the first couple of hours I was there, which was a change as there is usually another photographer or two there getting their shots between family groups coming through.

There is a good reason why Fall is my favorite season
Lovely photos. I particularly like the one of the bridge with the sun on the tree behind. Beautiful.
Just beautiful
Looks very serene and peaceful with its Autmn visual flair. Kind of reminds me something out of a movie…. a sleepy small-town vibe.
Lovely shots! What a great way to spend your day off. Autumn is such a wonderful season.
Thank you! That one was hard to get, as I was almost shooting into the sun, which is rarely a good thing. Especially in the woods.
I always love having a place like this to myself even if only for a couple hours. It can be very peaceful and such a fantastic way of winding down from other parts of the week. I really like that last photo with the bridge and the beautifully lit tree behind it. The leaves really glow. Autumn can create pure magic sometimes.
I love it when I have a place to myself, or if there’s only one or two other photographers or painters. It’s so quiet peaceful out there with the stream and the trees.
