I know it's going to end badly but I fall in love again every time

From the Top: a view across Beechspring Pond; Fern Valley looking down the main trail; Fern Valley the view along Crabtree Road; China Valley near the entrance

Falll always makes me feel so.....used. This week has been spectacular, next week will be nice, then the season will dribble away (hey GrayC) and it'll be cold and gray. I guess that's a bad attitude and it'd be silly to not just enjoy things.

The China Valley picture is a slightly wider view of an area that the volunteers have really whipped into shape this year. The link is to a picture from the end of August this year. All the plants in the older picture are in the one above, but the view sure has changed.
