On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March, and end the first Sunday of November. Note that the Secretary shall report to Congress on the impact of this change. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedules once the Department study is complete.

I said they wouldn't be as spectacular - you give me mountains & I give you a car park!

But this is the entrance to the park at the bottom of my road, and the colours do warm me.

And this is my walk in to work (when I'm not on the bus).

I'll take another one once the leaves have really started to turn. Its very pretty when you're there because you can see over half a mile down the tree lined walk. Also there are squirrels everywhere.....

OK. Here's mine. This was a week ago, about 2.5 hours north of Toronto. I'm the guy in the front, wearing a tuxedo.

Wonderful Fall pics, all! Mari, your shots illustrate "purple mountains majesty" very nicely. Sundae, post more pics whenever you have the chance. I'll probably never get to England, and I love looking at even the things which probably seem humdrum and mundane to you.

Glatt...why?

It was a wedding. Both the bride and groom arrived at the wedding site by canoe. One of the guests took the picture. It was a nice half mile paddle. You should have seen the expression on the local fishermen's faces when the bride went by in her canoe.

Paddling a canoe in a monkey suit is about how you would imagine it to be.

For some reason I have this mental image of a Native American Princess and Warrior being paddled to their nuptials in full garb.

Cool.

Hey, I wonder if Falling Rock will make it?

Obscure joke. See the story in the humor thread.

I found these pictures on Wunderground of fall in the North East.
The first one is the Delaware Water Gap, where the Delaware River cuts between PA and NJ in Northeast PA.
The second is the village of Mt Bethel, PA.

Nice, Bruce! I guess you don't have to visit the Rockies to see beautiful things!

xoxoxoBruce · 10-21-2005, 11:18 AM

I've been to the Rockies in September and they are indeed beautiful. Anywhere the leaves change color adds a special warmth to the terain.

I was afraid the rain would mess up our leaves in NEPA but it is spectacular right now. Sunday should be nice, get out of the house people.
