Late Wednesday afternoon in Maggie Valley (11/4/09) I spotted another great photo opportunity on a spectacular Maggie Valley creek. The trees are somewhat bare and brown, but the creek is so beautiful that I don't think that matters.

Speaking of photography, @BradCoy introduced me to Blurb the other day, and I cannot wait to give it a try with some of my photographs. Could be just what I need to make some very special gifts.

These photos were taken late Friday afternoon (10/30) in Maggie Valley close to Ghost Town. It was drizzling rain when I was taking the photos, and as you can see, our fall leaves were evident on the ground instead of in the trees.

If you like creek photos, please look at my set of creek photos on Flickr. We have had a good bit of rain, so the creeks are great to photograph right now.

Fall Color in Maggie Valley ... Gone With the Wind.

The amount of rain we had recently, I am told, hastened the demise of our beautiful fall leaves. We also had a little early snow at the higher elevations, with a return to warmer, milder temperatures during the past 2 weeks.

The locals tell me that the woolly worms are predicting a very cold winter this year. The 2009 Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk came and went and I wasn't able to get there, but I hope to next year.

It seems our Fall colors are now fading and the leaves are mostly on the ground, but these photos were taken a couple of days ago in Maggie Valley, with some pretty 'colorful' results.

Maggie Valley Leaf Viewing Even More Beautiful on a Creek.

The leaf colors are changing rapidly this week, and the leaves on the trees on this creek in Maggie Valley were spectacular a couple of days ago. The weather has been warm this week, and we have had more rain, so many leaves are falling off the trees (and I'm having to rake my yard again). Perish the thought.

Here is a collection of some of my Fall 2009 photos taken in and around Maggie Valley and Waynesville in Haywood County, NC.
