Eileen's Random Travels

A Photoblog post of my random travels.

"Autumn paints in colors, that summer has never seen." unknown


These are some recent photos of our last visit to Shenandoah National Park. We went on a daytrip to see the fall colors, look for the Black bears and deer and to hike on some of the trails.

A view at one of the overlooks on the Skyline Drive, Shenandoah Nat'l Park.


Some colors on the Limberlost Trail in Shenandoah Nat'l Park.


Some critters, a White-tailed deer, Dark-eyed Junco, Pileated Woodpecker, Hermit Thrush, Song Sparrow, and various scenic shots. we saw one Black Bear cross the road but it was running and too fast for my camera. 


Pretty red tree along the Limberlost Trail.


The Big Meadows, pretty plants turned red in the fall.


A lone tree in the Big Meadows.


Some pretty colors along the Skyline Drive.





A view from the Range View overlook.






I am sharing some of my random travel photos, this is not only for my followers but more of a reminder for me and my hubby of where we have been and what we have seen over the years. All good memories for us, I hope you enjoy too.

I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

  1. Oh Eileen!
    I fell in love with your autumn photos.
    I love autumn for phenomenal colors. Unfortunately, this year I was still tired of looking so pretty.
    Thank you so much for a wonderful trip to Shenandoah National Park.
    Greetings from the rainy Poland.

  4. Beautiful!

    These photos make me think of the John Denver song that’s about another place. La la la la...West Virginia...la la la...snowy mountain rivers.... You know, I don’t really remember the words, just the sentiment!
