Real autumn from the Northeast

As nature rushes through the two weeks of autumn in The Bitterroot, riders from Upstate New York and thereabouts are posting at motorcycle forums some of the beautiful foliage their neck of the woods displays.

Sonoma County, California, where my parents raised their kids and I mine has a very long and colorful autumn, not to mention the year-round growing and motorcycle riding season.

I miss that part, but easy living and mild weather seems to attract lazy thinking. I am happier where I am.

Nevertheless, the photos are beautiful… and particularly attractive to motorcycle riders.
