Change of Season

We have really noticed a change in weather this month.  While we are still enjoying warm, sunny afternoons, the mornings have cooled off.  Our typical lows have been in the upper 30's to mid 40's, though we did have a low of 33 degrees last week!

Along with the cool nights has come changes in the trees.  We are seeing colorful leaves with some leaves already dropping.  

In the mountains behind our trailer, we can see the aspens with their golden leaves. These next two pictures were taken just a few days ago.  First a long shot, then a close-up of the golden aspens. 




This morning we awoke to another sign of the changing seasons.  The taller peaks had received a dusting of snow overnight! And in the morning light, the colors seemed more vivid.



We look forward to more cool weather, and perhaps some snow down here in the valley before long.

  1. I love the yellow of the aspens in the fall. The contrast of the green conifers really bring out the brilliant color. Snow? Hmmmm... must be about time to move on?

  2. We're here for at least a couple more weeks. We'll probably hang around till it gets too cold for us.
