tree in my yard



Took the kids fishing behind our yard, theres some town property (70+ acres)







There were more bear prints than deer prints. This one was bigger than I could open my hand

Here are a few more







a big bear, med bear and a cub. In my yard

My camera doesn't pick up color the way i would like. Believe me these were much better in person. Anyway took these today over northern Sussex County where it is definitely peak. I think they are better viewed at the reduced size.

These are from Stokes State Forest...








Sawmill Lake


Heading up High Point Mountain

Country back road (also the road i grew up on)




These next few are right where i grew up (white house on the left)

Sat, Nice pic's! Might take the kids hiking up Weldon Rd (Saffern Pond) on Mon.

still looks like a lot of green sat, I wouldnt consider that near peak imo


lab, nice shot of the bears. You couldnt believe my bad luck. I have been trying all summer to get the up close bear shots but my friend needed his camera back so I gave it to him Saturday morning. Well guess what, the sobs came back last night. They tour the garbage can apart that I kept the corn in and took off with it in the woods.

The new bags you just bought last week? I think they might be casing your house!! LOL

yup, talk about being disappointed. Just another kick to the face to me from the year 2008.

If it looks any green it must be because of the camera. It just doesn't pick up color that well. Believe me in person there was no green at all. I'll definitely have to work on getting a new camera. This was a free one anyway.

rgwp We are very close to peak. The majority of the area is at peak with the exception of High Point highest elevations. Thats because of the gypsy moths infestation this summer and most of the trees are oak wich are the last to turn. By the end of this week we will be at peak and possibly past.
My brothers camera did not pick up the colors, too much light. This has been a hard year for pictures. I have taken a hundred pictures and nothing worth keeping. Its been way too sunny. I need a filter on my camera.

Yup, Had this every yr since 1993

yea, from looking at your brothers pics I see what you mean. Your pics are from a cell phone? if so than yea they usually dont come out to great.

No cell, here is his post-

BTW- I bet id he didnt take so many vacations, work would of gotten him a nice one.

Haha yeah i got that camera for my 10 year anniversary at work. I guess they were trying to tell me something!

Does it have a landscape mode, that might work better

I will check. It's very basic but it might.

If you stop taking so many vacations you will might be able to afford yourself a good camera.

i know but then what would i take pictures of? haha.

These photos I took at Saffin Pond (part of the park system) its only a few miles from me. I would say it was peak yesterday. You can see the leaves falling in the photos. Like others said, with the bright sun, it is hard to get the true colors. I guess we need a filter on it.
Any way These are the better of the bunch. I just posted the link so I dont fill up the page


Saffin Pond 10/14/08

Great pictures! The clarity of them is amazing.

Thanks Nit! Took like 300 and these were the best.

BTW- This will be a nice spot for when it snows

Very nice! thanks for posting.

Nice pictures lab I think we are also past peak. Peak conditions were very short lived. My entire yard is covered with leaves now.
Saffin pond area is nice. I have been their a few times hiking. Been a while since I was last their.

I took these last week. See how the east facing hills still look nice.

Took this last night-

Beautiful photo Lab!

Thanks

Only when the owners arent home


No, I wish it was
