Morning light show

It’s beginning

Photo taken on the south slope of Big Hole peak, about a mile south of the lookout on the morning of September 19, 2012.

Colorful afternoon

After taking advantage of a clear, sunny morning to finish up some work on the house, getting it ready for winter, I went out for a bike ride this afternoon and encountered some nice fall colors. It’s so good to see a more normal fall after the rather drab one we had last year. These photos were taken along a one mile stretch of a stream (Lynch Creek) about five miles from my home.

Along the Todd Creek trail

The leaves are starting to develop their fall colors quite rapidly now. This small scene was on the hillside above the Todd Creek trail at about 5,000 feet yesterday. It will be exhilarating to try to keep up with the bursts of color!

Add just a little sunlight…
