Wait. Don't go yet.

For those of you still in the area, there's still good color along the shore of Sylvan Pond (it was 29 degrees there this morning). Also, the beeches around Blue Hen are peaking this week. Might be good Tuesday morning if the rain holds off.

Here's a shot from the Ledges. I was at the opposite side of the park from Jack's group when the thunder and lightning started. Fortunately, I found a dry spot under a ledge (go figure) until it passed. This is the root system of one of the old birches along the ledges. You could spend hours just shooting this tree--maybe when it wasn't raining/sleeting/snowing with thunder!

Chuck, that's the tree I was talking about Friday night. The wetness helped bring out its texture.

I know that tree better that I have photographed it.

It is good to see Jack's group got some good images. With the weather and Fall being what it was this year, I was really wondering about that.

Nice shot, by the way. Thanks for posting.

Fantastic root system, Dan. What a cool photo.

I just got back from am east coast sales trip.

I'll be posting a recap on last weekend... what a weird weather event.
