2014 Fall Foliage Photos

[Brad]

Awesome pics!  I always take my daughter on hikes to the top of the hills.

Thanks. I could go up there every day this time of they year.

Here is one from last night. Only had time to process one before I went to bed.

Abundant moisture, warm-cool mix promises pretty fall colors

Trees have received abundant moisture this year, colors have begun popping, and the weather promises to provide the right mix of warm days and cool nights needed to bring out a robust show. Even the prairies are putting on their coat of burnished browns and yellows.

Sounds like we have a couple more weeks of color yet to come too!

Looks like there is a little color at Preparation Canyon, but not a lot.  I saw a little of that yesterday too.  Some of the Oaks over by the Little Sioux Boyscout camp were all brown.  I wonder if some of the valley's got really cold one night?

The oaks that were brown could be burr oak. They usually don't have much fall color. Sometimes a little yellow but mostly brown,

[Brad]

Color is really getting good in Downtown Omaha!

Great shots,Brad. Today I went south to Mineola and then Glenwood. The colors were outstanding. In Glenwood, the trees were just wonderful. So much color!!

My wife and I went down that way too. We went to Pony Creek Lake and also Hill Lake both near highway 34.

[EastCB]

I thought about pony creek lake but didn't do it this time. I think this is one of the best years for fall color.

[Brad]

I wish tomorrow wasn't Monday... I really want to get out more before all the trees loose their leaves!

From Today south of Omaha.

1. Pony Creek Lake. Not the best light, but this could be a nice morning shot.


2. Also Pony Creek Lake. Still not the best light, but this could be a nice morning shot.


3. Small Tributary leading in to Pony Creek Lake.


4. Awesome Red Poison Oak down at Hill Lake.


5. North of Pacific Junction Iowa.

Indian Cave State Park from today:

[skinzfan23]

I really like those first two. Great view of the river and the fall foliage. Reminds me of the Mississippi River at the Mines of Spain near Dubuque, IA. If I ever get back over that way I will have to take some pictures of it.

[Coyote]

Any guesses where Coyote was today:

[BRoss]

No idea, but that is beautiful!

[Coyote]

I'm surprised no guesses, one of my Facebook friends got it within 10 minutes of posting. Once you've been here, you'll never forget these ponds

[skinzfan23]

I saw your facebook post but can't remember where it said it was.

[Coyote]

OK, the rest of the photos from the shoot...:

Schramm State Park

Schramm State Park

You are correct!

[Coyote]

OK, Where was this taken?

[GRANDPASMUCKER]

From the top of Devils Slide in Hummel park?

[Coyote]

From the top of Devils Slide in Hummel park?

Good guess, but not right.

[GRANDPASMUCKER]

Neale Woods?

[Coyote]

Neale Woods?

Another good guess , but not quite there yet.

Fort Atkinson

[Coyote]

Fort Atkinson

Your other two guesses at least had wings. Think of Vantage Points. Famous ones. Ft. Atkinson has none of any river.
I will be posting a thread on my favorite points after the next Where's Coyote...
Think Preparation Canyon, Hitchcock, Waubonsie, Indian Caves...

[skinzfan23]

I am going to go with Indian Caves based on some of the other pictures you have posted from there.

[Coyote]

No, good guess also... I do have another Vantage Point pic from there, that you had to climb up to get to, but they are doing quite a bit of channeling of the river thrre, for a new boating area? I may post that later also.

[EastCB]

Blackbird Bend Lookout?

[Coyote]

Blackbird Bend Lookout?

we have a winner, Blackbird Hill Overlook:

[Coyote]

Well, then, one more Vantage Point, where is Coyote?

[omaproud]

Ponca State Park?

[Coyote]

Ponca State Park?

Omaproud is correct again!
