Autumn Wanderings

[macgart]

I've not had the financial means to do any big trips this year but I have done a bunch of local wandering.  I coupled my love for riding with my photography hobby to search out locals for interesting photos.  Here are a few of my shots.  

I know everyone likes pictures more than drawn out stories so here are a few.

I hope you enjoyed the photos.  I can't wait to get out again on a proper ride.  I'm trying to improve my photography skills to make my reports more interesting.
