As the fall progresses, I’ve noticed two trends. First, as I hike northeast the sun is behind me and casts long shadows ahead of me from about 230 to 530 pm. The second trend is that all the leaves have fallen and the sun penetrates through.

That means in the afternoon/evening the white blazes light up like beacons in front of me

So that’s why I’ve been paying more attention to them this past few days (noticing how they line up).

Or when they are horizontally striped

Or diagonally striped

Caught the sun coming through one of the openings in this cool tree.

A few from today

Enjoying more of the sun,
