As always you've absorbed your surroundings and gotten more out of a hike than most. Great to see you blogging again. Thanks for sharing the richness of colors.

Foliage hikes
Thanks for the comments. 2014 was one of the best years I've ever seen for foliage, as the blogs hopefully show. I still look at the photos every few months : )
