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.
Moose should have told you.
The park is closed.
Good as Gold
The Aspen tress are doing their thing and a day spent soaking it up is an experience as good as gold.
Chubby
This Marmot looks like they are just about ready for winter as their fuel tanks look to be topped off. Well just perhaps one or two more meals as long as the weather is fine before heading into the burrow for 5-6 months.
then and now
The sun has moved from north to south and the flowers have turned to berries.
Then and Now.
Although they’re one they’re not the same or at least it feels that way.
The flowers are beautiful but the berries are somewhat poisonous (depending on your species and I assume most of you reading this are human of course) and produced form a the pervasive and often considered to be invasive Bittersweet Nightshade vine.
A Fine Day
Hiking up high near Lake Irwin in central Colorado on a fine September day.
Twins
The forest is just a bit damper from the heavy morning dew and the colors are changing before my very eyes. Fall is in the air.
Summer Sunset on the Pond
Yesterday I could feel it happening. The sunset is getting earlier, the algae is in full bloom and the nights have cooled down just a few degrees. Summer is still hanging on and we may even get a few sweltering days but I can feel fall just around the corner. Zeroimage pinhole camera and Kodak Film.
Townsends Solitarie
The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology describes the Townsend’s Solitaire as “A long-tailed gray bird of the high western mountains, the Townsend’s Solitaire descends in the winter to lower elevations where it feeds almost exclusively on juniper berries. ”
That pretty much sums up our experience with these birds. We see them only in winter and always in, around and defending their patch of Juniper berries.
Although described as grey they are much more than that and deserving of the spotlight on a stage all their own.
