It seems I haven't made a post yet about one of my favorite times to shoot: fall. Most photographers love to shoot fall, and the Southern Appalachians are a great place for it. Although with all the rain we've had recently, I think the fall color has finally left us. 

I had initially thought I'd do a long post about fall, but I think I'll share some of my favorite shots I've taken in NC this season instead.
