Thanks to all... I thought they came out okay. As mentioned, the colors just jump out at you. Thanks again.

Very cool! I'm surprised at the lack of them in my area this year.

My sister and I did a road trip to Durango, CO last weekend. We were booked on the Durango & Silverton RR, narrow gauge train. This weekend was the Photographer's Special. About 9 hours with many stops to get shots of the train and the scenery. Then the next day we drove highway 550 to Silverton, then 550 becomes the Million Dollar Highway from Silverton to Ouray. The aspens were in full autumn display. Here are some of the scenic photos I took:

Awesome photos! Some of them almost look like large scale model trains.

Wow, Rick, those photos are spectacular! The images are so crisp and life-like, it took me about five minutes to get the smell of burning coal cleared from my nose. And I swear I can hear the horn...
wait, that's from the train that's running on the tracks a mere straight-line mile away downhill from our house. Thanks so much for sharing.

A friend is in Fiji for a week, so she offered her home for us, the wife and I went for 4 days and the kids came for tea Sunday night, two story house 5 bedroom and 6 bathrooms, and showers. I giggled the value 1.950 million. Own swimming pool and spa which everyone loved. Here's my view

Nice sunset. Nice boat, too. Looks a lot like one of my ex-boats, a Larson 225 open bow. I'm guessing the ubiquitous 5.7L I/O drivetrain?
After I got my first SeaDoo PWC, I sold my I/O boat and bought a SeaDoo twin-engine jet boat. That thing got up on a plane in about one second, and could do 65mph on relatively smooth water. And, since the lakes in Texas are manmade, and full of stumps, I saved a ton of money on having props fixed or replaced.

Yeah, I'm on my second prop in 3 years.
And she's a small I/O. 135hp 4 cyl Honda engine.

You got two props to last three years? I was lucky to get away with two props a year. My worst was when I had a bunch of friends down at the family lake house, and had a brand new stainless steel prop, and hit a submerged tree top less than an hour into the first outing. Grrrrrrr. It vibrates the whole boat and cuts 20 mph out of your top speed.
The Larson had a Volvo-Penta 5.7L V8, but it was useless with a perpetually bent prop. The SeaDoo boat had 360HP, and NEVER broke. Well, the batteries didn't make it though the winter in my garage without a trickle charger, but I could fix that myself. But, no exposed prop.
Ah, but Mother Nature can be cruel. I bought my perfect boat right at the start of a major drought. By mid summer, I could't put my boat in the water, because the water was 20-feet away from the boat ramps. Boat slips around here start at 400-bucks a month, and many of those were useless that summer. You couldn't get out of the Marina. So, I was making payments on a very pricey boat that I couldn't use. Bye, bye my friend.
Like they say, the two best days for a boat owner are the day you buy them, and the day you sell them.

We spent some time in Williamstown MA this afternoon, viewing original documents from the birth of our nation. The Chapin Library at Williamstown College houses an unsigned Declaration of Independence, a draft copy of The Constitution complete with editing notes by one of our forefathers, and George Washington's personal copy of The Federalist. It was inspiring to see all of these relics from turbulent times in our country, knowing that we're still going strong in spite of our troubles and differences. Puts a little hope in one's heart that this too shall pass. Oh, pictures:
