And this was Fort Worth on Sunday morning as we launched in Northerly direction. The lake is the VERY polluted LAKE WORTH ( thank you Consolidated, Consolidated Vultee, Convair, and General Dynamics ) I guess one polluted lake is worth the cost of freedom. It's about silted in anyway. :roll:

Patricia got a great sunrise shot anyway. :D

Willie,

Real nice. Reminds me of my home when i was a kid (Finger Lakes area in upstate New York). The leaves don't change color here in southeast Alabama. We have leaves all year; the trees that do shead, pretty much just loose half their leaves without changing color.

Igor's right!

This piddle paddle rumor about trees turnin' colors is just propaganda!

Here in calm, sunny N'Awlins the trees just kinna get a wee bit thin. Sometimes they shed their limbs or have a lie down and sometimes they fly down the road at 100 mph. That's right, they're migratory!

I say, stop PhotoShopping those fake trees up north in a evil plot to confuse we poor Southerners!

Some of us are so easily confused as it is.

I too thought that leaves had 2 colors.. green and DEAD.

Around here, they're green and then one day (or night) whne you're not lookin, they're all over the yard and street in a lovely shade of brown. :(

Our trees, limbs, leaves, trailer houses, and other assorted sundries have a tendency to do their migration thing in the spring.. :badgrin:
:lol:

Reminds me of New England. Here in Colorado, people go on about the aspens, which turn a lovely gold color, but I'm spoiled. There's nothing quite like a northern hardwood forest in the fall.

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

I keep meaning to go about with my camera and take some but I never seem to get around to it. I think everywhere else always looks more interesting than where you actually live though - grass is always greener on the other side (of the pond) ;)

Yeah, the poultry tree is pretty in the Fall, then you have to rake up all them damn feathers and then you have to look at a nakid chicken all winter.
