Good morning everyone,

We are going back to Cedar Hill State Park on Saturday, October 20th.

I know a lot of people had to miss this beautiful spot last time around, and everyone who did have the chance of shooting in the park agreed that we need to go back!

Sunrise is at a much more reasonable 7:25AM -- Sunset will be at 7:04PM.

I saw several wonderful spots that will keep me there for both times of the day. So I might spend the whole 12 hours around the area and explore a bit of the historical spots in the general area during the "worst light" hours! We will do lunch around noon - and arrange for a spot as we get closer to the 20th - or for more fun, bring food for a picnic and let's see and talk about some of your photos.

Please RSVP on this thread so I can keep a headcount going.

Thanks,

Michael

Hmm.. i thought they do open at like 9am... Tried to go there about 2 weeks ago, and was bummed out by that, had to drag around myself in bleedin' heat.

But. Unless something horrible would come up - i would love to join.
(bugger. i just realized.. i might be in NYC still on Hadoop conference.. will check more with my other calendar tomorrow..speaking of horrible)

Well, looks like I should be able to make it. Cold JB? would be nice, but I will settle for cool...high anything under 80. Oh and nice clouds while were wishing, really nice clouds.

No fall colors here. Hasn't been that cool. It was Sat before last that it was in the 50's all day. Needs to get a little cooler and stay there for a few days.

Dammit.. There are some really nice colourful patches along I35, and around Grapevine already.. Hoped for something like that, but i guess its one of those pockets of warm air there..

Might be different over at the park. I don't see much color here in S/W Tarrant County. You never know.

We have a few varieties of Oaks out here, but I haven't noticed any of them turning yet. A cold front tonight and 3 nights in the low 50s before Saturday - who knows ...
