Photo of the day: autumn colors in Virginia Canyon, Yosemite


For anyone who thinks the autumn colors don’t show boldly outside of New England, just focus your eyes for a moment on this photo of Virginia Canyon in California. As part of Yosemite National Park, Virginia Canyon sees many travelers each years. Nonetheless, these autumn colors pop up on my radar less frequently than I wish they would. Having spent the last year in Austin, Texas, I miss the fall colors and I hope all of you surrounded by brightly colored trees this fall took advantage and soaked in the beauty fully–or are still doing so if your trees still have their leaves.

Kudos to Flickr user Misha Logvinov for this photo, which can be found in the Gadling Flickr Pool. If you’d like one of your photos to go live here on Gadling, follow in Misha’s footsteps and upload your photo(s) to the Gadling Flickr Pool.

Foliage Dispatch from the Adirondacks

Greetings from the beautiful Lake George, NY!

Earlier this week, I was claiming that there is almost nothing better than riding a Harley through the winding roads of Sonoma Country, CA. Today, I am quite happy sitting on the porch, sipping coffee and watching the trees turn in the Adirondacks. My life sounds pretty good “on paper”, doesn’t it!

If you are headed this way in the next couple of weeks, make sure to check out the fall foliage reports. According to the reports, the Adirondacks region is near peak this weekend. The locals, however, will tell you they would still give it a week or two.
