Fall Foliage 2012 - Eastern PA, NJ, DE, northern MD and northern Nevada

[Parsley]

It has few... fortunately we also have roads to those few

I just look at those pics. and that topography and can't believe you don't get more snow. Then I look at how barren that area is and it makes much more sense. What a bummer.

[MGorse]

That was too easy.

We should have a vote

Ray always gets his way.

Yeah, remember that THIS is what Elko actually looks like:

The perennial water courses flowing out of the mountains are the only places trees grow outside of the mountains themselves. And the Humboldt River, which flows through Elko, doesn't even have trees... just a bunch of low willow bushes and a few invasive Siberian Elms and Russian Olives.

Hold on a sec... which one of us works at Mount Holly and which one of us works in Elko? That's what I thought

[MGorse]

Yeah because that is what I was referring to.

[famartin]

Yeah because that is what I was referring to.

You did say "always"

[MGorse]

You did say "always"

I will have to remember that next time.

[famartin]

I will have to remember that next time.

Next time "what"?

[MGorse]

Next time "what"?

When you infer something that I was not even referring to.

[famartin]

Anyway... back to fall foliage...

[MGorse]

Anyway... back to fall foliage...

I agree...

Many awesome pictures in this thead. Thanks all for sharing!

Yeah, remember that THIS is what Elko actually looks like:

I love the desert, but what always struck me funny was that it was the opposite of the east. Here, rural areas are forested, and the urban areas were cleared (to various extent) of vegetation and trees. Out in the desert, the rural areas are somewhat treeless, with only desert scrub, while the urban areas are planted up like an oasis. At least in AZ it was that way.

Yes that's how it is in northern Nevada too. East-central Nevada, around Ely, there are a lot of scrubby pinion and juniper trees on the surrounding mountains so its not really like that so much.

[Quakertown needs snow]

Nice pic's Ray.

I almost thought of calling Rib in here to break up the MCF (Met Cat Fight)

at peak here

Color continues to explode. Beautiful this year, best since 2009 at least. I'm going to take some shots tomorrow when it's sunny. Probably high color 80% now here in Monmouth.

[Quakertown needs snow]

^^nice ones.

[NaoPos]

Wonder how all the trees in Elko are looking...

[chubbs]

Color has really come on the past few days. Wonder if we are running a little ahead of schedule this year.

[snowlurker]

Nice pix Qtown.

Some green, some yellow, some brown, some bare... nothing special in Elko proper. Maybe I'll take a picture or two in the city park if I remember to go vote tomorrow.

Hoping to get some nice shots today while the wife is at work...

[Isotherm]

We have the classic NJ style green trees next to bare trees next to trees half dead next to trees that are fully changed. Man I wish we had foliage like Vermont.

Couple of fall shots from Saturday 10/20/12

Picnic Woods Rd - Mahoning Township.

Bake Oven Rd near the top of the Blue Mountain.

[Parsley]

Great shots Voyager

Driving around today I'd put northern Montgomery Co. at near peak.

Looking back at photos of last years snow in late October, it appears the trees today were at about the same color level as the day of that snow. So, about a week ahead of last year.

[Voyager]

Great shots Voyager

Thanks!
