I LOVE Fall in Alabama!

Every fall, our family takes a drive up the mountain, Cheaha Mountain, to look at the fall leaves. We missed last year due to weather and work, but yesterday's blue skies proved to be the perfect backdrop for a mountain trip.

Last weekend, the leaves were not in full glory, so we waited. However, the storms of the past week knocked most of the turning leaves off the trees. We still got some beautiful views, though.

The National Parks Service did a fantastic job making the trek out to Bald Rock handicapped accessible. This bridge system is incredible!

This is the only picture at this angle that Jameson isn't complaining about the sun.

Me, looking like a sausage squeezed into that jacket.

Marty and Jameson came across this little gem. This caterpillar was HUGE!

These two trees were grown into an "X"

This is why I love fall in Alabama.
