Leaf Peepers
Here in Colorado, people who make the journey through the mountains to view the Autumn color are called Leaf Peepers.

Musings about Life, the Universe and Reality
There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.
A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.
A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.
A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.
A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.
A Land of Melting Shadows.

Beautiful! The first time I ever heard that term "leaf peepers" was years ago on the Bob Newhart show when he played the inn owner in Vermont. I thought it was such a funny term!
Gotta take the time to peep in the Autumn.
Oh beautiful Jeanne! I wish I lived in a place where I could be a leaf peeper. I'm so envious of others who get to see a montage of beautiful colors!
Beautiful! Simply beautiful...even the mountains. I can't believe I just said that! Thanks for sharing your leaf peeping pics! :)
How beautiful! I'm not familiar with the term "leaf peepers" but I'm definitely one of those too. :) I received your prize today! Thanks so much. The book looks great! I couldn't help noticing your return address, because my mom lived in your town when she was a teenager. Small world. :)
Beautiful photos! I love the changing leaves. It's just getting started around here.
Hello fellow Leap Peeper! I'm going to New England soon to do some leaf peeping of my own! So it is officially autumn out there...how lovely it is too! My cousin just texted me tonight to say that that they are expecting snow. I don't know if she meant soon, or just this winter...ha! But it would be fun to go out there and let the kids see snow. I might need to wait til' next year so that we can make good plans and research decent hotels or house rentals. I really appreciate all that info you sent me too, thanks again for that. I hope you enjoy this magical time of year! Thanks for letting me know about this post too, as I did miss it and I enjoyed being able to do a little leaf peeping through your photos! :o) Have a good weekend! :o)
