Autumn 2007

Autumn 2007 took its time coming. We took a couple of trips to the Catskills hoping for great foliage pictures, but were too early for the peak. When it finally arrived is was very pretty, with several dewy mornings and sunny days. Finally we had a couple of frosty mornings that trimmed everything with ice crystals. I hope you like this collection of pictures. Enjoy!
