Low clouds over the reservoir made for a moody late-autumn scene, this morning.
The first cold days of autumn, plus some rainy overnights, left a small bit of snow just barely visible on the ramp of ridges that lead up to Ben Lomond Peak.
Back in the flickr era, this was referred to as “autumny nature crap season,” and we loved it.
Fall colors are spreading across this little valley.
I love these beautiful, big seed pods showing their autumn style.
Oh yeah, it’s autumny nature stuff photo season!
A few sunflowers are hanging on while autumn approaches.
In just a couple of days these leaves have turned even more brilliantly to autumn. This row of trees used to be my barometer for autumn, but I don’t drive past them every day like I used to. Now I catch them on my walks with the dog a little less frequently. I’m happy to see them changing with the season, and more than a little wistful at the time that has passed this year.
