We took a trip down Skyline Drive on Sunday.  The weekend was supposed to be the peak of the fall foliage, but I think we actually missed it by a bit because of all the wind and rain on Saturday.  Still, I did get a handful of nice photos.  You don’t really see a lot of the yellow in these.  There were whole sections of forest where nearly the whole thing was a vibrant yellow – but these areas didn’t seem to occur as much out in the open where it was possible to really get a well-composed photo.  (Besides which, it took us an hour to drive the first ten miles, because of traffic, so I wasn’t about to ask hubby to stop for photos in any of those spots!  The traffic did clear up after that first bit, and it was a nice drive the rest of the way.  A gorgeous day for it, too!)

If I could somehow have secured the camera to the roof of the car and still been able to tell what I was photographing, it would have been perfect. lol  Some of my otherwise -nice shots have pieces of the car in them from where I was sticking my head out the window to take them. 😉  But here are a few of the gems.  (The one that does have cars in it is included because you can actually see just a little bit of the yellow – though not as vibrant a yellow as we saw elsewhere.  It is otherwise not a great shot.)
