*chortle* Yes, it is a rather odd phrase when one has no context. I do have some photos of my own, but haven't extracted them from the camera yet, so I'm pleased you were presented with the right location.

Most leaves are down here as well, but as recently as last week there were still quite a few still turning colors in a leisurely way.

Lovely descriptions of a lovely trip. Thank you.

It's always nice when you get that moment of "What's that annoying cloud/haze/otherwise atmospheric object obscuring the stars? ...Oh wait, that's the Milky Way. It is the stars."

Aw, thanks. Yes, I keep having that moment even though I know what the Milky Way looks like. Perhaps if I saw it every night I wouldn't react that way, but it's very pleasant and thrilling.

It was. I'm glad I managed to write it up, though somewhat stunned that people read through to the end. I didn't want to let it go unmarked just as a personal record.

I'm just grateful you did, for the chance to enjoy those images vicariously.

It's an amazing park and we were very lucky with the weather and the phase of the moon.
