Any Colour You Like Part II

Another weekend, another hike. Got a surprise very warm day, close to 80. Nice, but it was pretty windy all day. I even managed a little sunburn. Gotta not miss the spots with the sunscreen! I was hoping for some great color. And it was - ok. The colors were actually kind of muted and dull. I wonder if the cool wet summer causes that.

So, I made fall by pumping up the colors in Photoshop some. NOW it looks more like fall!

Taking a break from a nice high vantage point. Still quite a mix - trees with no leaves, trees turning, and trees that are still green. Strange fall.

Another view from my high vantage point. Got a little more color in this shot.

Care for a swim? Not me, thanks. It's muddy marshy and shallow. Quite a few dragonflys around enjoying it though. While it lasts...

Picked up a little hitchhiker while I was hiking. Just wanted to say 'Hi' I guess.

Enjoy the fall colors while they last. Cold weather is getting closer. So it won't be long before all the leaves are gone and the most amazing time of the year (in my opinion) is gone. Then, the cold white blanket returns.

As long as it's fallish. Because it's fall. And it's time to collect some of those fall color photos for they year, before they all fade away. Was out in the hills today, seeing how things look. In a lot of places there's a lot of yellow, but a lot is just changing or still green even. So 'peak color' is a week or two out. Supposed to be cold enough for snow in the hills in a day or two. That might speed up the color change.

A mix of yellows and greens.

No big wildlife sightings this time. Little ones like this spider. But no big ones. Too bad, since I had the big camera with me!

Don't fence me in!

More to come as more colors change for their brief but beautiful show...
