Jan and I hiked 4 miles at Oil Creek this morning on the ski trails and the Gerard trail. The Gerard trail had a scenic overlook:

Here's a link to a cropped image of the tableau from the Friends of Oil Creek site. Things have become November Brown mostly but when the sun is out there are nice russet places. We were lucky and the sun shown in patches a lot of the morning, though not at the time that I took the above photo.
I felt pretty good going the 4 miles today - I think my plantar fasciitis is getting better - yay! I'm looking forward now to a winter season of hiking more often.
