The tamaracks at my parents' house are so pretty, especially the one in the middle! Tamaracks are so cool lol, their fall colors are so pretty and I love how soft their needles are!

It is SO yellow outside! When you look at the hills they're just golden. It's so pretty..in Texas the leaves just turned brown :P

Earlier in the week I heard Creamer's Field was having a fall walk on Saturday (today) and I thought it would be fun so I went with mom and dad. The fall colors are AMAZING here..I don't think I've ever seen it this colorful here before. The birches and aspens are BRIGHT yellow and some have some red. The hills are crazy yellow. The walk was cool..I hadn't walked in the forest there in the fall before. It's such a dramatic change! There was one lone tamarack tree in the forest too! It's so cool to see them yellow! After that we did errands and drove home..I saw a whole bunch of tamaracks in the Goldstream Valley!! They're easy to see now that they've changed color. I didn't even know there were any there haha

Today mom and I went up to Murphy Dome..I took pics and picked berries a little (then I went and read in the car cause it was cold! Haha). I saw the bottom of Mount McKinley! Yay haha

Poor Galveston and Houston..they got ravaged by Hurricane Ike. Though I was jealous I couldn't be in the Dallas area to experience the hurricane :P

Today's stupidest quote: It will work out, somehow. That's a hell of a duo right there--Marbury, Crawford, and Houston (Denver Nuggets player Carmelo Anthony, assessing the future of the 2004-05 Knicks)
