Trail Ride

 We went for a trail ride with my baby brother and his bride yesterday.  


After the rain and a frost last week the golden colors are very vibrant.  We are pretty much past peak but the golden color was lovely.

I like the golden leaves very much.

Oh my gosh! That first photo is gorgeous! It looks like it should be on a calendar. Such pretty colors. I'm looking at a very similar golden tree outside our balcony door right now.I wish they could stay around awhile longer.
Blessings,
Betsy

How pretty!! I think we're at our peak this weekend. By the middle of next week the ash trees will be mostly naked, but for a couple more days we have a lot of gold. The maples have really turned this week - with lots of reds and orange. A trail ride would have been so relaxing.

Nice leaf colors! The transition is just starting where I live.

Do you ever have starting issues with your Polaris? The one on the farm is nearly impossible to start without ether. My dad took it in for a tune up and it started fine for a few weeks and then it was back to the ether. I suspect it might be stale/bad gas since we fill it from a farm tank that probably gets filled once a year and a tank of gas in the Polaris lasts for a couple months.

Ed, We had problems a year ago but it seemed like the issue was a cold battery. Once we tried it enough times to warm up the battery it would start. No issues this year...yet.

Enjoy those colours while you can! Grey and white is just around the corner!

What a beautiful day!

We really only get gold here (in a variety of shades) so your wee trip was a delight for me

The golden trees make for a bright outlook.

I wasn't surprised to see the trees have shed most of their leaves here on my drive to and from my daughter's. It was very windy!

What was left, was much like yours - past their peak but still lovely.

Rita said...

Very pretty still your way. Those golden leaves are hanging in there. :)

What a sweet ride! Our colors are very vibrant right now....but will be gone soon, I'm sure. So glad the snow hasn't come yet for you or for us. I'd like a long drawn-out Fall. Take good care and enjoy more of those Fall rides.

Your ride has to be a fun way to go. It looks so great to see the different colors.
