Fall Foliage Pictures - A Gallery of Pictures of the Washington, DC Area

Through proper tree selection, you can turn your own backyard into a haven for autumn foliage viewing. But perhaps you need some inspiration from Mother Nature, first? To that end, About's Guide to Washington, D.C., Rachel Cooper shares her fall foliage pictures in this photo gallery. Maybe Rachel's photos will inspire you to get out for an autumn drive. And while you're out leaf-peeping, remember to take some scarecrow pictures to gather some creative ideas for the next scarecrow you build.
