Pasture and horses low on the mountianCatoctin Mountain is one of the prominent geological features of Frederick County. The mountain is a ridge across the county from the Pennsylvania border into Virginia. Much of the land on the mountain is parkland: Frederick City Forest, two state parks and a national park. Sunday I drove up to Gambrill State Park looking for fall color in the trees. Many of the leaves were blown away by the storms that came through over the weekend, but still a beautiful fall afternoon. Here are a few images from the mountain.

You still have some autumn colours even though a storm has blown many away. I love the golden leaves.
Hi Lew,
It's nice to see the colors of autumn. We don't have the autumn season here in the Philippines but seeing your photos makes me feel the breeze of autumn. Thanks for sharing.
what a wonderful fall drive--thanks.
You have captured it well.
beautiful fall colors! they are just amazing to see.
You have caught that something special about the autumn - the colour, the light, the quality of the air.
Beautiful images!
Autumn in Maryland,
how I miss those brilliant leave colors
and the blue skies!
Friends of mine are building a house at the edge of Frederick. I hope to visit them within the year.
