The colors were not as good in most areas around here this year and I was unable to get out to see them at precisely the right times anyway so, getting any good photographs did not happen. We did take a trip to the Blue Ridge Parkway but, the colors were just not in peak plus the sun was intensely bright. I have no fancy cameras with filters for that so no way to get any good shots under those conditions.\u00a0 There were huge crowds of people there which created bumper to bumper traffic with nowhere to park. People walking everywhere running out in front of you and with the sun in everyone`s eyes it was a dangerous situation. I was on edge the entire time.\u00a0 It was just an unpleasant experience for me but, regardless, here are a few pics from that trip:<\/p>\n
