Yellow is In on October’s Red Carpet
October is the best dressed month of the year and the Parkway is a runway show of color.
The double yellow road line winds like a ribbon, tying nature’s glamour, shine and glitter all together.
Like a lit up Las Vegas turned on by the sun, full length trees and a palette of rolling scenery steal the spotlight.
It’s an arcade jackpot of color.
And cars, like flipper-driven pin balls, shoot up and down the winding ribboned ramps while October lights flash, “You’re a Winner!”

Nice pictures along the parkway, and some nice pix below of those spider webs too. Looks like an interesting blog you’ve got.
