Autumn in Frederick

Here are a few more pictures of this years fall leaves. While Jill was off with her friends, I drove around the Frederick Watershed taking pictures. The Watershed is a pretty popular place to go mountain biking. It is known for its very technical rocky trails. A lot of people do shuttle runs, which is bombing the downhills then loading all the people and bikes in vehicles to driving back to the top to do it again. I need to get back on my bikes. They have been neglected and it shows (around my waist)! Jill and I went for a hike around Greenbrier State Park. I was not impressed to see how much trash has been dumped there over the years. It is no fun to be walking along a great trail covered with a canopy of colors and find someones complete disregard for the park. But at the same time, I thought all the dumped trash made for interesting subjects for some photographs. I prefer to think that I am trying to find the good part of a bad situation. Not just glossy over the problem. Anyway, I love being in the outdoors enjoying nature. And I especially love this time of year with the kaleidescope of colors.
