No, I'm not talking Halloween or batteries. This is the time between fall and winter when everyting is brown and there is little to no snow yet. I have my favorite pet projects but curious what others shoot to fill this void?

Utah fall colors. Should be about peak the next couple of weeks.

As Tony suggests, just follow the fall colors to Utah or Texas (Guadaloupe Mtns, Caddo Lake &, Texas Hill Country).
Also, Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache - mid November (through Feb).

Nice thing about the desert around Moab - that red rock still glows at sunrise and sunset regardless of the season.

"Two and a Half Men" on Mondays, "The Shield" on Tuesdays, "The Office" and "CSI" on Thursdays, flip between NASCAR and NFL on Sundays.

Now that is very true Bret! That poison ivy is REALLY tempting me right now! I may be heading that way tomorrow. I am not sure I can squeeze Zion into my plan due to some last minute family obligations; I need to be back by Friday afternoon. I play with water drops when in the dead zone.

There is plenty to shoot still, but I find this is a time of year when I need a breather. Time to clean up the archives, work on some files I passed over previously and get ready for the holidays.
Last week I shot fresh snow in Cheyenne Canon. I was hoping to catch the canyon in good color, but it was unfortunately past prime. I'm looking forward to getting back in there with the first big freeze, probably around the first part of December.

I was almost sure Todd would bring up the calendar girls...

How about some frosty grasses, sedges and reeds before the snow beats them down too much? Or some snowy waterfalls before they freeze up completely.
Posted by John Klotz on October 27, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Yes, waterfalls are always good but, I like mine frozen not stirred!

i take a hiatus between now and late spring, however, i live in Indiana so it's not like is a whole lot going on around here. i may try to hit the bunny hills (aka ski slopes) this winter and see what kind of luck i have.

Not a damn thing. This is a good thing because I may actually get some work done at my real job for a change.

I haven;t read all the responses to this thread, but I was just up at Loveland Pass the other day and was surprised at the amount of snow this time of year, so there is alot of places around that has alot of snow that is nice, maybe this is a sign of a good winter with alot of snow in our mountains. Let's only hope
I already saw a snow boarder having some fun in the snow when I went up to Loveland Pass, so there is plenty O' snow up in them thar hills yonder.....Already yessirree
