When the seasons change there is nothing more to do do but sit and watch the show. Because the show must go on.

From here to there
On a beautiful fall day the views at Noris Geyser Basin seem to go from here to there without an in-between.
Wishing you a happy weekend.

Pigeon Tremex Horntail
Looking a bit like a caped and masked superhero this Pigeon Tremex (horn tailed Wasp) was found resting on an Autumn afternoon. Although they look like they could do some damage these wasps are reported to be not naturally aggressive and only sting when provoked just like any good superhero.
For a detailed description I found the link below to do a great job describing them:

Along the wind
Fall colors in rock and foliage along the Wind River in Wyoming.
Boo!
Pinhole photograph of an old one armed cottonwood tree in a local park. More of a friendly ghost than a demon but in the spirit of the day nonetheless.
No so fast
Just when you think that you are getting away with quietly watching two Crows just going about their business it becomes clear they have found you out.
Blue Tips
A bit of blue still lingering as snows have come and gone this fall. The beauty of the summer flowers dressed in fall colors never ceases to delight the eyes. Photographed near Crested Butte, CO several weeks ago.
At days end
Fall colors on display as the sun close out another beautiful day.
Working

Many Coots…flew the coop
Seems like this has been the year of many Coots and this day was no exception. While driving along in Wyoming we came across a lake that looked like it was filled with many Ducks however upon closer inspection it appeared to be filled to the brim with only Coots.
Well looks like I made a blunder and forgot the photo I had chosen for this post. I am away from my computer today so just imagine many coots on this nice fall pond. Not quite a majestic mountain lake at the base of a majestic mountain range but pretty nonetheless. Thanks to everyone who pointed out the missing photo.
