The foliage was the excuse for the drive so I had to post some of it
It really was a gorgeous, near perfect day. It isn't often we get to see the leaves in 80 degree weather in Western New York in late October. It was only one year ago that the area was pummeled with heavy lake snows that did extensive damage to trees and houses in the area and put out electricity to many for about a week.
That red (in the car) seems hard to photograph well. I haven't done a lot of experimenting, but when the car is in direct sunlight, the red seems to "bloom" out and turn an almost orange color that isn't true to the car color. I think the digital cameras saturate the red too much (or some such). Except for the rear shot in the parking lot, all of those pictures were taken with my new video camera and I will have to see if there is some way to make that color come out better.
