Here is an image from NASA showing the first appearance of changing colours as maple leaves turn orange along the shores of Lake Superior. Great photo!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Oh look! There's a fire at Stelco in Hamilton! :lol:

(For those of you who aren't familiar with the area, Stelco fires burn 24/7 at their production plant, with huge flames day and night.)

Thanks for the image, Kathryn. I love stuff like that.

This is my first fall here in VA. We live in the Shenandoah Valley so I'm really looking forward to the leaves changing here.

My hubby says that Harper's Ferry is gorgeous in the fall...so we have planned to go there as well. Not that we don't go about once a month anyway...haha.

We'll also be visiting hubby's family in West Virginia. They live in the "hills"...or as we normally call them, the Appalachian Mountains. :lol: Can't wait for that either.

Ah, Fall...gotta love it.

That's a gorgeous picture. Here in Vancouver for the fall, it's always rainy and the falling leaves turn to mush. Yeah, it's so delightful to drive in -_- I am looking forward to seeing PA in the fall, all those trees and changing colours make my heart warm.

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...
