• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Fall Colors

Those are some truly beautiful photos!

Most of the trees around here just turn yellow (generally anything red is non-native, and planted in neighborhoods)
Attached images:
First one is back on Sept 24 in the mountains (along highway 285) pretty much when it was at peak colors.
The rest are from a local park on Oct 14 & 21, peak colors down here near the foothills.

These pictures were taken in Bucks County PA, from the canal towpath, with the Delaware Canal visible on the right side of certain pics, and the Delaware River on the left. Across the river is NJ. All pictures just via iPhone, as I was riding my bike.

This first group of pictures below were taken on October 16:

The following pics were taken yesterday, October 29. This time of year is usually just about past peak, but in looking at them the later ones are more colorful than the earlier ones, probably helped by warm temperatures.

We pretty much reached peak here around a week ago when I posted, so these will probably be my last ones of the season. Overall a good fall color season here. Not as great as last year, but still pretty good.

And a couple barred owls on 2 consecutive days below as well with the fall colors in the background:

This was another owl I spotted below and was able to get some fairly close shots of with a fall color backdrop:

And to cap it off last night with a great sunset and most of the trees are barren now and will remain so again until next late April/May (roughly 6 months or so).
