Beautiful fall mornings have been taunting me since I injured my toe two weeks ago and I can’t hike very well in flip-flops! So today I gingerly put on my trail shoes and headed up Arbaney Kittle. Sheila (my dog) was ecstatic about getting out for a hike! The colors are really beautiful on the hillsides with the scrub oak in all its fall finery. I took this picture in the opposite direction from which I normally photograph so this is looking into the Frying-Pan Valley and towards Red Table Mountain. You can see the tapestry of color on the slopes of Red Table Mountain – lots better in real life – I think my cell phone camera is wearing out!
