Seeing in Fall

Winter is definitely on the way. Though it was unseasonably warm today, the early forecast is that by Friday it will be a high of 8 degrees celcius. 8 degrees! That’s cold! So to make the most of the remaining warm days, and to check out the leaves changing in “Fall” (aka “Autumn”), Kristy and I joined Fabia and her friend Luis yesterday, for a trip to Bushkill Falls in the Pocono Mountains.

It was absolutely spectacular! Most of the trees complied with our wishes, having already turned various shades of green, yellow, and red. We followed the Bridal Veil Falls Trail, which was about two miles long, and cascaded through the woods past about five distinct waterfalls. Breathing in the fresh country air, taking in the beautiful scenery, and getting some outdoor exercise was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Words alone aren’t enough to do the scenery justice, so I’ve organised a few of the photos and put them into an album for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

As good as the photos are (great work G!) they just don’t capture everything. The smell in the air was so light and fresh it reminded me of fresh limes, and the sound of the moving water was really soothing. Aaah.

Thanks all for a lovely day out!

Looks awesome, it almost makes me wish I lived up north again, almost.

How lovely! I love it when you have a really wholesome day out of the crazy city. You must have a fairly good camera too to capture the scenery so well – what kind of camera is it?? I am in the market for a new one – my Canon Ixus 40 works fine but pales in comparison…

Hi Laura – it’s a Canon EOS 20D (digital SLR). It has already been superseded though, by the EOS 30D – which I would very highly recommend. Canon SLR cameras are second to none!

Glad you enjoyed my home state of PA ;) And because we are always in synch, Cam & I were visiting a waterfall in Maryland this past weekend!
