8 miles hiking through the Hudson Highlands. Beautiful in the fall, and a welcome releif from City air and cross-training on the elliptical. You can see some pics on my blog here

What a relief to get out of the stuffy gym!! Beautiful photos...I'm surprised that the leaves haven't all changed there yet.

Yeah, I guess I'm not that familiar with Fall on the east coast and when it all happens. But, while it was hard to capture on camera, most of the leaves had turned; seems like the trees that were more protected from the elements still remained pretty green. I just added one more photo of the mountains that shows a little more of the color.

Oh yeah, most of them have changed! Pretty :) Does Australia get seasons?

We do! But it is mostly based upon temperature variations. And depending on where you are, they are quite different from here. Queensland, up north, is like Florida; hot, humid, tropical; more like a "wet" and "dry" season, really. The center is desert, so can get super hot and super cold. Sydney is a little like SoCal, and Melbourne is a little like San Fran, or Portland. No snow, except for high up in the mountains. And Fall is the biggest difference, because most of our trees are evergreen- eucalyptus. So they don't turn or lose their leaves like they do here.
