fall color

This is the second post from my October trip to the mountains with an old friend and hiking buddy. When we got back to the car it was still raining, but not very hard at that point. We decided to cruise the back roads looking for interesting photo subjects and fall color. These pictures, simply put, are fall color in the NC mountains near Hot Springs. I think the rain actually added to the color saturation. Oh ya, the pic of the turkeys was made as they ran through the valley just below where we were taking pictures of pretty leaves. And this barn was right on the side of the road. It was covered with really cool rusty old license plates. Some of them were pretty darn old!
