Standing at the ponds edge I could not help but feel the pond was quietly looking back at me.

Yellow Rumped
Just hanging out in the spruce happy to make your day. A Yellow Rumped warbler sings away. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
Eyeing Berries
This American Robin is eyeing a vine filled with berries all the while eyeing me trying to discern if it is safe to make his move. After a few minutes assessing the situation this guy flew into the vine out of sight but was definitely heard feasting away on this fall bounty.
mmmmm….berries!
Sights and sounds
The golden glow of the Aspens in the morning light.
Two chickadees singing a-dee-dee-dee with a nuthatch honking as the leaves rustle in the breeze.
The crows gurgling and woodpeckers pecking in the distance.
Sights and sounds of the forest on a morning hike.
Lingering
Fall seems to be lingering this year in the high county. The temperatures seem somewhat mild, the skies the bluest of blue and the Aspen trees holing onto their leaves just a little bit longer. Taking a cue from nature we lingered as well. Watching the Aspens release their leaves into the mild breezes and sitting in the fall grass looking up at thistles and blue september skies. Linger when you can because September has come and gone the days are getting ever shorter.
Still up high
More fall colors up high in the mountains of Central Colorado. Aspens are glowing down below so it’s time to get out and get a few photos.
Mountain Meadow
The grass is brown and the Aspen leaves range form green to yellow to golden and red.
No calendar required, Autumn is here today.
Outside of Fraser, CO.
In The Rabbit Brush-sea of yellow
A corn ear worm moth spending time with one of our favorite late bloomers in the area the Rabbit Brush plant. Love the beautiful yellows of this plant in bloom and it looks like the moth does as well.
Coyote
Peeking at each other through the long fall grass and sagebrush in Yellowstone NP. I always marvel at how an animals fur matches their environment and the subtle changes that occur from place to place within a single species. This Coyote seem to perfectly match the sage and grass in which they live.
Lichen it
Even the rock are dressed in the latest fall fashions.
