| Staring back from the abyss  |
39 degrees, clear blue sky above, pea soup fog below. Leaves turning. Invisible geese coming off the river and honking their way through the fog. Elk bugling in the distance. A steaming cup of coffee and a good cigar.   It doesn't get any better. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

Gorgeous photos, guys. I love the west and the mountains and spend a lot of time wishing that I could find a way to move out there. But this time of year is nice even in the flat farm country of Indiana...this was the view out walking the dog tonight and I had to stop for a pic:  | |||

Took a75 mile road trip for lunch today. The big trees were nice but the smaller trees were 40% green and 60% glorious oranges and brilliant reds. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency. Neck Ties, Hats and ammo brass, Never ,ever touch'em w/o asking first | |||

Hiked Salamonie State Forest today outside of Lagro, IN. On the way home we stopped at this big rock overlook by the Wabash river that I had never been to before. While we were up there, a bald eagle flew over...didn't get a picture of him, but even without the view was pretty impressive.  | |||

Absolutely a favorite time of year. Gets me out chasing color, visiting places I hadn't been in a year.  "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

I know this is a hackneyed way to ask this, but is it me, or are we having particularly beautiful fall colors this year? I've heard certain weather conditions will promote nicer colors--is that it? I live in Chicago and I've been struck several times, even driving home from work today. Year V | |||

I'm about 2 hours from you, and I've noticed it as well. It may be that this is my first fall in 6 years that I haven't been working night shift, where you don't see any color at all, but it does seem to have been particularly vibrant this fall. I've greatly enjoyed it. | |||

Very nice pics and beautiful landscape. If you wouldn't mind, could you send some of that countryside down here to Florida? | |||
