For some reason, the sycamores take a while to turn red, as do the blue oaks, that are mostly green now. From an email, it seems that I probably should have added more about the GPS device. They way it works, is that the unit keeps track of GPS readings and time independently of the camera. Photos must be captured when the unit is on, so that the time stamp on the photos matches the time stamps in the GPS logs created by the unit. When the photos are loaded onto a computer, and the software provided is run - the date stamp in the header of the photo is read and compared with the time in the GPS log files to determine the GPS coordinates for the photo. The time on a computer indicates to the software what time zone one is in, and hence the camera time stamp must match the computer time stamp. Basically, there are two units working in the field. Back home, software on the computer looks at both of these sources and updates the photos (jpg) files. There are other software products that do the same thing. I would really like to find one that updates the raw image instead of just the jpg. (The plot on the map was taken from just a GPS log file and displayed on a Google map with a GPS log manager provided with the unit.)

I was recently on vacation in New Mexico and noticed that most of their cottonwoods have lost their leaves. I guess they are about a month or so ahead of southern CA. I think I've seen a few cottonwoods around here (San Jose area) and they are mostly yellow with a few having most of the leaves fallen. Great photos, as usual. So now there's a gps for cameras? Very interesting. Hi Lynn. I was recently on vacation in New Mexico and noticed that most of their cottonwoods have lost their leaves. I guess they are about a month or so ahead of southern CA.
