Oh, the colors!

Autumn in Georgia doesn't even come CLOSE to the wonder and beauty of fall in the north. The leaves here have been changing colors for the last few weeks, and it seems like everyday I notice quite the difference in my surroundings - more and more reds, oranges and yellows with each passing day. It makes me realize what I've been missing out on this whole time living in Georgia, where the leaves go from green to brown and it's still humid as hell in October.

And driving up through the mountains, like at the Delaware Water Gap National Park where we went today, it makes the colors come even more to life.

We did a 7.5-mile hike today around the Buttermilk Falls and Crater Lake area. Walking through the trails was like a scene in a movie - as the wind blew, it "rained" bright yellow and orange leaves. I was expecting Disney's Pocahontas to come leaping out from a tree bursting into a cheesy song. "Just around the river bend....."

But Tracy, what about the hunters out there who are also enjoying this lovely fall weather? Well, to that I say no worries- at the expense of me looking like a total dork, I wore my tacky "hunters orange" cap. But hey - it almost matched the color of the leaves!
