With the firm arrival of fall comes a quieter time of year. The songbirds have left and the animals have hunkered down. There will be sunny days but the cloudy days become more frequent as October marches on.

In a dark forest
As the day came to an end a beam of sunlight illuminated golden aspen leaves in what was otherwise a dimly light forest.
Near Ridgeway, CO.
Greetings Grasshopper
Heading out for a morning walk we were greeted by this little guy soaking up the morning sun on a milkweed plant. Good Morning Grasshopper.
Peeking out.
A Wilson’s Snipe peeking out from the grass in which they were very well hidden.
We saw and waited for quite some time for this guy to move out from behind the grasses in which we could just barely see them moving around foraging.
This is the most we captured but sometimes just a peek is more than enough.
Sowing Seed
A beautiful fall flower getting ready to release the seeds for the next go round.
Although I hesitate to say so does look a bit like any corn.
Fall Tundra
Up high on a drive over Hagerman Pass the fall colors stole the show.
Near Muddy gap
A day goes into night a late afternoon storm moves from there to here leaving a wonderful sunset in its wake.
Near Muddy Gap, Wyoming.
Cactus Coreid Bug
This guy was found crawling about on a group prickly pear cactus where we take a daily walk. It always leaves me in amazement that so many animals have evolved to look so much like their environment.
And what a lovely environment it is.
Only time will tell.
Time speaks slowly but in a language all can understand that beneath the skin of a landscape now covered with humans lies one of ancient seas and dunes.
Moose should have told you.
The park is closed.
