Rose-colored Glasses

In my life, I have moved more than 30 times.  And no, my family was not in the military.  It has just been my fate.  I haven't minded, as I have been fortunate to live in interesting places from Bucyrus, OH to Jingzhou, China.  When you move to a new place, you tend to see everything through rose-colored glasses.  Even though I'm now living full-time at our family's house on Elk Lake, this is the first time that I have seen the trees turn colors up here.  It may just be this year, but compared to other places I have lived, the colors are so vivid.  I'm trying not to see everything through rose-colored glasses, but I'm just in awe of the beauty.  If you are reading this and have lived up here all year, can you please let me know if every Fall is this beautiful? 
I would love to see pictures that readers have taken around Elk Lake this Fall.  If you have some to share, please post them in the comment section.  I have added a few pictures that I took while wandering around Bunker Hill Rd. in Williamsburg last week, when the trees were just starting to change.  I thought the colors were vivid then, but they are even more spectacular now, even if I am looking at them through rose-colored glasses.
