In some places, the color is almost blinding. The contrast from the green grass, to the red-orange leaves and then to the pale gold ones seemed unreal in this stretch of woods. The group below was a guided trail ride on the estate. Abner is fascinated by the horses so I always have a chance to photograph them since he just sits there and watches them go by.

The shot below is Wolf Branch Creek in the Arboretum right before it flows into Bent Creek. At this time of year, the carpet of leaves is so thick that the edges of the creek are hard to determine. Abner has, on occasion, stepped into the water unintentionally because he thought he was still on terra firma.
