Nice set of images of Ricketts Glen State Park, Tim! I will be there next week.
Went to Blackwater Falls State Aprk in West Virginia yesterday, got there 45 minutes before sunrise but the sun didn't peek through the cloud/fog until 9:00. The waterfall is actually named "Douglas Fall" so it was worth the stop.
I recently sold my 20mm G as I sadly have come to the conclusion I can't compose anything wider than 35mm. So it's just the 35GM & 135GM that I have now. I've been toying with purchasing a 85 DG DN to bridge the gap.
35GM
Picture of Perth City from Kings Park
135GM
I got bored so ventured into my garden and attempted to use the 135 as a macro

Wow, those are wonderful fall color images, Douglas! I am envious..😀
Damn, that's a sublime shot of a Mandarin duck (never seen one before). Love the colors and pop. Shots like this make wildlife photography interesting for me and i never was much into it. As always - great job Josh.

Stop with those nice and lovely 30 fps shots, it makes me feel like my R3 is from the Stone Age.
I had hoped to find more Autumn Color yesterday and went to the Trexler Nature Preserve, a Lehigh County Park about 10 miles from my home. Like Tim Devine who lives not too far from me, I found that there really wasn't all that much color change yet as it has been too mild. I am not sure how our Autumn Color will be this year. And surprising, Douglas L that lives further south from us in MD has been posting some strong color change. In any case, there were some Gold colored trees around Jordan Creek at the bottom of the Preserve. I then traveled to the top of the Preserve and there was little Autumn Color to be seen. But at about the very very top of the Preserve there are several Maple tree plantings that have a bit of Autumn Color. And I found what I am posting.
Photo taken yesterday at 5:35 PM.

The only long exposure I was able to take on my recent trip, as I forgot my ND filter at home, DOH! I was able to jam my tripod plate into a trail marker post for this one
