Traveling the Scenic By-Way

Here in the Adirondack Mountains, fall foliage is at its peak. On Wednesday, I ventured north with photographer and friend, Judy Olson, to capture some of nature's most glorious moments. Our destination was Paul Smith's College, one of the premier forestry schools in the country. There, I met with Brett McLeod, an instructor of natural resources, to learn more about the red oak tree for one of my centennial books for Milton Hershey School. It was a glorious day. Thanks to Judy for taking this photo (and other photos to document my work on the MHS books) and to Brett for sharing his passion and knowledge with me. Now it's time to plop my butt in the chair and write!
