I have been trying and trying to hit a good day for taking pictures of the fall colors.  Today, as I headed out on my seven mile plus run, the leaves were more beautiful than I had seen yet this autumn.  It was sunny.  Unfortunately, I did not have my camera with me.

I had a meeting later in the evening so left my house about 6:15 pm and headed to drive my run route and take all the pictures I would have taken as I was running, if I ran with a camera.  The sun was starting to set so the colors were not as brilliant as during the height of the afternoon sun but they were still beautiful.  A few of the shots have been altered to get better contrast.
