Fall pics from upstate New York

Where I come from, Australia, we don't have a lot of colourful trees in autumn. That cos we have eucalypts (gum trees as we call them) and they are evergreen. Why not be evergreen? It isn't as if most of them have to put up with harsh winters and even the ones that grow where it snows still can grow in winter (they've been found to grow even in the middle of winter in Siberia!).

So going to Rhinebeck for the sheep and wool festival served a double purpose.

In this blog entry, I'm just going to show the pics of the trees, not the trip up along the Hudson. Enjoy the fall colours!

Whoosh! Too close to the car! I loved the colours though and the golden light in the woods - wish I could've stood in them for a while and just absorbed that light.



Though I did get a couple that looked a little less blurry
