Autumn colors in the valley and snow up high, the transition is almost complete.

At ponds edge
Standing at the ponds edge I could not help but feel the pond was quietly looking back at me.
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.
Common Merganser
Oh to be a teenager.
A young common merganser enjoys a sunny fall afternoon lounging on a rock in Sting Lake. Grand Teton National Park, WY.
When you feel fall
When fall first comes you feel the sunlight change, the pond becomes just a bit quieter and the clouds look a specific way.
We each have developed a feeling of fall depending on where we live but when fall comes you can feel it with all you senses.
Looking at the Tetons on an early fall afternoon it felt just like fall to me.
Lichen,Rock and Spruce.
We were up high in the mountains a week or two ago and much to our surprise there were numerous butterflies going about their business even as the nights have been cold and the flowers have long died out for this season. Must be slim pickings this time of year for this wonderful comma butterfly foraging on Lichen, Rocks and Spruce.

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.
Youth
An immature Bald Eagle waiting patiently for a meal to present itself along the Snake River in Teton National Park. It seems almost every time we kayak this stretch of the Snake River an eagle swoops down attempting to catch a fish. Having the camera ready is a different story.
Walk in the woods
I Hope you have a chance to get out this weekend and enjoy a walk in the woods wherever your woods may be.
Be it short or be it long.
Be it big or be it small.
A walk in the woods will do us good.
