On a quiet fall afternoon the landscape sat silently waiting and resigned to the fact that winter will soon arrive. Waiting for a timeless moment in time.

Medicine Bow
Looking up towards Medicine Bow Peak in the Snowy Range on a blustery, and blustery might be an understatement, fall afternoon. Medicine Bow National Forest, WY.
How De Dew
Just a little caterpillar making their way through the grass on dewy fall morning. Enjoy the journey and have a great day.
Just over the hill
Just over the hill in the early morning light an American Bison enjoys an October morning. Yellowstone NP.
Just like that
Just a week ago it sure felt like early fall was lingering into mid-October. Well just a week later an mid-October feels just like mid-October. A light layer of clouds blanket the sky. A light snow has fallen and the orange and yellows in the valley have a added hint of brown. Willow Creek, Grand County, CO.
In the San Juan’s.
Stopping for a quick photo and to catch our breath while working our way up into the San Juan Mountains of southern CO.
First of the season
Autumn colors in the valley and snow up high, the transition is almost complete.
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.
