Still going strong.
Turns out the leaves aren’t quite done yet.
So, at the risk of boring some of my more persnickety readers, I’m going to post some more photos of the fall foliage.
PS. See if you can spot Junior Bear. He’s in one of the snapshots.

Sure, sure, these are very nice but back when I was young we took pictures like this in black and white.
And we liked it that way.
October 11, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Isn’t he in two shots? I’m sure I see him at the very top of that tree in the third one.
That little guy can climb!
October 11, 2009 at 3:51 pm
::dons reading glasses::
I bought them at the thrift store for a quarter.
@ Friar
I found him. You want I should keep quiet until everyone else shows up?
Tricky Friar, making Junior Bear wear camouflage! Good thing it’s not bear season.

Big fucking deal, any clown with a computer can use Photoshop. Oh look, I turned my yellow tree red! Gosh, I’m impressed.
NEXT!

eyeteabagguys –you should fill your mouth–and shut up

Hey Jerrycan,
I always knew Friar had a gay lover that would eventually show himself by cumming to his rescue!
Eyeteabagguy -no “s”, there is only one of me.
October 11, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Friar, sugar, you keep this up and I’m going to have to invade your country and claim in in the name of…er…hmm…I’ll think of something.
I adore your little bear. Good grief.
Thank you for the beautiful scenery – as I figured, we’re going from green to gone down here in Redneck Central. The trees around Casa de Crazy are doing their best but are mostly just shedding their clothes and waving their chilly bones in the breeze.
Shade and Sweetwater,
K (who is still sleeping with the windows open, so she can’t complain too much)
October 11, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Technically, isn’t Junior Bear in all of the shots (though he’s behind the camera in all but one)?
Heh heh heh…

…isn’t Junior Bear in all of the shots (though he’s behind the camera in all but one)?
@ Brett
So how does that work?
Mer, curious
October 11, 2009 at 8:10 pm
He had to be there (with Friar), otherwise there’d be no shot
Brett, being silly
October 12, 2009 at 1:22 am
I can’t stop staring at that bright red tree in the first shot. Incredible colour, and how fortunate you were that the weather cooperated for a change eh? Beautiful skies. I think Junior Bear must be the next best thing to man’s best friend — think he quite enjoys these trips of yours.
October 12, 2009 at 7:08 am
WOW.
Just wow.
October 12, 2009 at 8:19 am
Lovely photos. I think Junior Bear looks very comfy leaning against that giant boulder in the last photo.
October 12, 2009 at 10:54 am
Eyeballguy,
As if …. Friar isn’t smart enough to use photoshop. He’d have to get Friar’s mom to do it for him.
Seestor.
October 12, 2009 at 12:21 pm
@seestor,
Friar wouldn’t use Photoshop. The name’s not goofy enough.
He would use…
The GIMP!
http://www.gimp.org/
(I use the GIMP. Very nice program…)
October 12, 2009 at 12:31 pm
@Seestor
Eyeballguy, oddly enough, I never thought to use that one.
Its true that Friar isn’t very smart but there are some programs that even he can use. And he obviously did. A red tree, like that ever happens.

Lol, you guys! If Photoshop changes name to Photoshit… then Friar would use it. Wait… he’s already done “photo shit” Just ask Junior Bear. He was there
October 12, 2009 at 7:43 pm
@Bandobras
Well if it was good enough for Ansell Adams, it should be good enough for us.
@Karen
There’s only one photo of the bear that I’m aware of (Unless he snuck in another one, just to mess with me).
@Mer
This was in a provincial park, where bear hunting isn’t allowed. That’s why The Bear is so open about his appearance.
@Jerry
Ol’ Eyeteaguy is welcome to fill his mouth with whatever he wants. Just as long as I don’t have anything to do with it.
@Eyeteaguy
Thaaaank you! Now I had to try to explain to my mom about tea bags.
October 12, 2009 at 7:56 pm
@Kyddryn
We’re really fortunate to have such nice colors here. But we pay for it. Within a couple of weeks, the trees will be bare and grey. Won’t see fresh greenery till early May.
@Brett and Mer
Yes, how do you know I actually took all these photos? Maybe the Bear took a few himself.
@Davina
Yeah, that tree stood out. That’s how it appeared in real life, with no color enhancement from Photoshop.
Desipte what Eyeteaguy says.
@Kelly
THanks! You know, I see this every year, and I never get tired of it. It’s like I’m seeing if for the first time, every time.
@Linda
It was a four hour hike, so Junior was very greatful for the rest break!
@Seestor
Et tu, sis?
October 12, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Exactly! (see my first comment…)
October 12, 2009 at 8:10 pm
Now I had to try to explain to my mom about tea bags.
Oh my!
Mer
October 12, 2009 at 8:15 pm
What do you mean?
A “tea bag” is a little cloth/paper thingy you put shredded tea leaves in, right? To make it easy to retrieve the tea out of your cup/pot.
I prefer loose leaf myself.
And a Roman shower is something you take in Italy.
A Cleveland steamer is a boat made in Cleveland, of course.
Finally, Dirty Sanchez is a guy from Mexico who doesn’t shower.
October 12, 2009 at 8:25 pm
@ Friar – I once had to explain to my mother what a blow job was. *shudder*
(Her reaction was “BLEEEEEHHHH!” Poor dad…)
@ Brett – You made me google ‘Cleveland Steamer’…
Damn you.
(And yet, at the same time, I’m grateful I had to.)
October 12, 2009 at 8:49 pm
@Karen JL,
I pride myself on corrupting “innocents” everywhere heh heh…
(you’re one of “us” now muahahahaha!)
October 12, 2009 at 8:53 pm
@Brett
I really think the marketing guys need to come up with a better name.
“The Gimp” might put off a lot of people googling for image editing software.
@Eyeteaguy
Yeah, sorry to disappoint you for writing another boring post. Mabye I should follow your example…and write as often as you do.
@Nicole
Shhh….don’t tell everyone my secret!
@Davina
That wasn’t “Photoshit”. That was “The Dump”.
@Mer
Visiting family this weekend…my sister and Mom were looking at my blog (I told them to look at my autumn leaf photos). And then Friars Mom asks about Eyeteaguy’s “nickname”.
Luckily, my sister answered before I had to!
@Brett
Yes..those are ALL of those things.
And that’s exacty what I’ll tell Friar’s Mom, if she asks.
@Karen
Yeah…your poor dad!
By the way, did you see the new Southpark episode this week, regarding chipotle and bleeding?
October 12, 2009 at 10:07 pm
Whoa, was I scared. I thought I heard Friar’s voice coming out of Friar’s Mom’s mouth for a second there.
October 12, 2009 at 10:33 pm
@ Karen JL
Two Words: Urban Dictionary. Although they were mixing up Dirty Rodriguez with the Cleveland Steamer.
Ewww.
I’m just sayin’.
Your poor dad is right.
@ Friar
When all else fails, send Friar’s Mom to Rachel Maddow. That’s how I found out about ITGuy’s nickname. Of course, I went to Urban Dictionary after that. But still: Rachel Maddow.
Mer
October 12, 2009 at 10:41 pm
@ Friar
I wouldn’t have wanted to tell your mom (or my mom!) either.
I’m glad Seestor did the honors.
@ Brett
Did you get your mouth washed out with soap when you were younger? ‘Cause that was just
Mer
October 12, 2009 at 10:50 pm
@Kelly
I’m visiting and using Friar’s Mom’s laptop. So I think the default name for the commenter had been set to “Friar’s Mom”. But rest assured, it is me (Friar) and I fixed the error.
@Mer
Brett is a bad BAD influence. Which is why I like to hang out with him, I guess.
October 12, 2009 at 11:25 pm
@ Friar – Yes, I watched SP online. That was an awesome episode! “You’re just being ignorant!”
@ Mer – Thank goodness it was some kind of wiki/dictionary thing that came up first and not images. Eeeeesh!
It breaks my 3 rules of sex/porn. Which is: do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t involve kids, animals or poop.
@ Brett – Damn, I thought I already *was* one of you.
October 13, 2009 at 6:05 am
@Friar,
I think the GIMP developers are just honest, unlike some other software guys.
Example – Microsoft PowerPoint.
So, we know it’s small enough to fit in a pocket, and it’s made of silicone for that natural feel.
It takes batteries.
And all the action happens right at the tip.
So, anyone who lists “expertise with Microsoft PowerPoint” on a resume, gets a single raised eyebrow from me (think Mr. Spock).
@Mer,
No, we didn’t have soap, we lived two doors down from Dirty Sanchez heh heh
@Karen JL,
Well, you were already, but it’s like this – it’s kind of like Scientology, without all the weird Tom Cruise stuff.
There are many levels – you just reached the next level
October 13, 2009 at 8:40 am
@Karen
Yeah, wasn’t that a great episode?
Shi-MON-Ah!
And I totally agree with your 3 rules.
Though some people seem to be comfortable with your third example.
(Just thinking about the love scene in Team America World Police)
@Brett
I agree. It’s like Scientology.
Karen has graduated to Double-Secret Probation Level Green.
If she sends us $5000, we can send her the course material so she can try for the Double-Secret Probabation Level ORANGE.
October 13, 2009 at 11:08 am
Gee, if you come late to the comments around here you feel foolish trying to comment on the post since all the comments before yours have very little to do with the post anymore. Anyway, I thought the photos were spectacular.
October 13, 2009 at 11:18 am
There were photos in this post?
October 13, 2009 at 11:46 am
Holy crap, Vikings Vs. Dinosaurs!
I knew it was possible.
October 13, 2009 at 12:50 pm
@XUP
Thanks for actually noticing the photos! (Unlike some of the OTHER readers…!)
As much as I like an open discussion, it’s a welcome change to get a comment related to what my post was originally about.
@Eyeteaguy
Yeah…there were photos, in case you missed it…
…before you and Brett dragged everyone down to the lowest common denominator.
October 13, 2009 at 1:31 pm
@ Friar & Brett – The cheque’s in the mail!
October 13, 2009 at 4:41 pm
@Karen
Good thing too, because space is limited.
(Plus the price triples, after next week)
October 14, 2009 at 6:25 pm
I dragged it to the lowest common denominator? I did no such thing. I just showed Brett the way, gave him the keys to my car, and filled the tank with gas.
They rest was up to your sick followers, God love ‘em.
Eyeteaguy
October 14, 2009 at 6:37 pm
@Eyeteaguy
I’m quite pleased how we keep dragging Karen further and further down, to our level.
And Jerry ain’t doing too shabby, for a relatively new arrival.
Well done.
October 16, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Gasp!!! Took my breath away….just beautiful. Now….back to work.
October 16, 2009 at 2:37 pm
@Janice
I’m gonna paint one of those scenes this weekend.
October 19, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Those are some great pictures Friar! You have a good eye!
October 19, 2009 at 5:13 pm
@Hannah
Thanks…(but you didn’t see the dozens of crummy-looking photos I also took!)
But with a digital camera, if you take enough pictures, sooner or later you’ll get some good ones.
October 19, 2009 at 6:16 pm
Kinda like your posts. Keep posting enough of them and eventually you’ll write something half-decent.
