Fall in Arizona
The wifey and I took an overnight trip to eastern Arizona where Arizona Highways said there is a scenic forest road worth navigating to watch the leaves changing. They weren't kidding. It's times like these I wish I had a real camera again.(Clikonem to embiggen)

Wonderful pictures, Steve. Even with a toy camera, it conveys the beauty of God's creation.
On a totally unrelated note, I've been playing in my head an Orthodox edition of Monopoly. Properties would be famous churches, railroads would become Athonite monasteries and the utilities would become wonderworking icons. Go to Jail becomes Go to Confession. Houses are replaced with bells and hotels are replaced with domes. And the pieces would be things like a cross, censer, mitre, crozier, chalice, diskos, altar. So basically a purely aesthetic mod, just like all the novelty Monopoly games out there.
Beautiful pics. Many years to the two of you.
Wow, I have never seen anything like that--all the leaves turning a single color! It's gorgeous, thanks for sharing with us :)
Donna, There were a few trees that were topped with some reds like in your blog picture, but not many. I think it depends on where in AZ you are and the type of trees. These were pretty much all birch trees, the elevation was about 7-8,000 feet I think. In person it was pretty spectacular for sure.
Arizona has the bluest skies I've ever seen. Starting in 1965, when I "blamed it" on Ektachrome instead of Kodachrome, and continuing through the late 70s when I lived in Prescott (my "Greening of America years"), that's been a constant. Real camera or not, you reminded me of it.
beautiful! and I love the one of you and your wife, so sweet and good!
Lovely! Thanks for sharing! (We have almost no color here yet and probably won't get much, but what do you expect for S. MS.?)
....pretty neat...i see a couple of possible post cards here...i've never seen such a cluster of birch trees before..not even here in ky....did i see you at a Charlie Daniels band concert in louisville??
I think I just drooled a little. Beautiful country shots! Thanks for sharing.
When we toured Arizona last year, we had just missed the aspen turning. My hubby was so disappointed, though the views remained spectacular.
Sure those aren't aspen, Steve?
Ingemar, why not RISK? The players could be Rome, Constantinople, Tel Aviv and Mecca. Maybe Varanasi, Lhasa, and Kyoto if you're feeling froggy. The goal is simple: world domination. Extra points for Jerusalem.
... WE HAVE TREEES THAT TURN COLOR IN ARIZONA?!
Why, oh why, can't they be where I live? I need something to capture the essence of a Midwestern fall in the barren desert land! :'(
