The majestic fall season in Shenandoah National Park can give way quickly to winter. Here are some photos that reflect that transformation, from the early colors of the berry bushes in Big Meadows, to the fall splendor in White Oak Canyon, to an early snow even as fall's last leaves flash their splendor...

When my plans to shoot fall colors out west did not work out, I decided to have some fun shooting in and around Shenandoah. It was a warm, late fall with spots of wonderful color.

While central Virginia does not compare to many areas out west, there were still some wonderful opportunities to capture nature's splendor as it is rarely seen in this part of the country.
