Nice colors and processing Sandy. I like the red leaves in the water. Great location.

That is really pretty. Great color - gotta drive up there soon.

John, Don't wait too long - a lot of the red and yellow leaves are down already.
Do you know Forest Road 12 along Still Creek, from Zig Zag to Trillium Lake? S

After the rain stops, I'll head up here for a sunrise and check out the road. Thanks for pointing it out to me :smile:

Sandy, where did you get your 18-200 and how long did you wait for it?

Mark, I'm sorry to say that I paid an extra $200 for it on EBAY, since I wanted it for an upcoming trip - $950. . Glad I did - I'm still on the wait list at Camera World, and it's been 4 months now.
I LOVE this lens, and take 90% of my images with it. It's light, versatile, sharp, and focuses down to 8 inches. I don't even take the macro when hiking now.
