Time marches on.
It seems like just a week ago we were looking out into willow fields golden and filled with leaves leaves. Ten days latter and the leaves have fallen yet color still abounds.
Snowy Range, WY.
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.
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.
Mountain Meadow
The grass is brown and the Aspen leaves range form green to yellow to golden and red.
No calendar required, Autumn is here today.
