Show me your 2017 fall bicycle picture!
Nope, not the one with the scraped knee. Fall, as in autumn. Mornings are much cooler, a bit of misty fog in the bogs, leaves changing color. Trying to get a few more good rides before the heavy rains start.
My favorite time of the year.
My commute this morning, bike trail in Tigard, OR

Beautiful picture, gugie. I'll be taking plenty more pics as the leaves turn here in New England.
First hints of autumn:
You should recognize this bike, gugie...

The morning air is quite nippy, the grapes have been harvested, but the leaves still show a lot of green.

from yesterday's ride... a shot of a C&V barn with soybeans in front. For those who don't watch soybeans during rides, they change from green to yellow to brown in the fall.

Good pic. Get a day with a clear blue sky and you'll have a great pic!

Going back a couple of years, I do have a panoramic shot of a pumpkin field before sunset. Hard to show a panoramic shot in this forum very well, but let's see how it does.

Fall is my favorite time of year for riding (and pretty much everything else) too. Here's an early morning shot from a few days ago - the morning was cool enough for long sleeves and the light was amazing soft and diffused.
Great idea for a thread!

Okay, it's got no bike in it, but I was out on a bike ride when I took it. It was September, 2013.
You know how when you press the shutter button on a digital camera you have to wait a second or two, maybe three, before it takes the picture? When I pressed the button, I only saw the heron in the foreground. I didn't see the white one in the background at all. The camera took the photo a few seconds later, just when she spread her wings. Lucky timing.
