Autumn photos of nature are always beautiful. The vibrant mixture of colors look awesome. I have seen it in person, but it is a shame we don't have it in the Philippines.
I will have to say your wife is a natural at taking wonderful pictures. The one with the mountains while in a moving car is my favorite. The other phots were also very beautiful. It's a shame you weren't able to visit Mt. Mansfield, and the Resort. But seeing the photos, I think you still saw awesome views.
