    Default Took a nice little Fall ride with the wife yesterday

    Wasn't a long ride but it was a good one. The pics just don't do it justice

    Isn't it the truth about the pics! I have been wowed by the scenery before, with the trees ablaze in the sunlight, only to find the pictures I took to be something less. Maybe it is the lack of the wide-angle view your eyes take in, or maybe it is just the way digital pics turn out. I miss Kodachrome!

    Fall color pictures are also my favorites. But others are right on when they say the camera just does not do the real thing justice. That's is one reason I don't do a lot of Alaska pictures any more--you get the "idea" of the shot--but just don't get the "being there" experience.

    Not only does the camera fail to capture what the eye sees, it fails to capture what the soul feels.

    Your Facebook pics are awesome. I don't think I could pick a favorite, though I love the one of the two of you.

    Lookin' good, Lamont. Glad the color is out up there. Heading up your way in the morning.

    We leave Sunday for Tellico Plains, the Cherahola Skyway and the NC Mountains.

    Next week we have reserved seats on the Smoky Mountain Railway out of Bryson City that traverses the Nanthala Gorge. It's a five hour trip that somehow we have missed taking in the past.

    Hope the colors are still vibrant.
