Morning Color

This morning thing... so weird... As stated before, I'm NOT a morning person... yet when I visit my friend at Bear Lake I magically wake at dawn. It's downright perplexing how at this one location the sun beckons me to watch it rise. This weekend I got up at sunrise and took a walk in jammies, trompt through the brush and snapped some pictures of the beautiful fall colors in the morning light. So beautiful!

Could there be morning gal hiding inside crazy night owl?

Sadly this was my last weekend at Bear Lake... We helped Clare close down her cabin for winter this weekend. I feel pretty blessed to have been able to spend so much time there this summer. Morning gal? Night Owl? Maybe just Lucky Gal!


Solitary thoughts
Shall I keep hanging around?
Or let go and fall?

Reflections of Autumn

Fall has come to a favorite spot of mine, Willow Lake. Since discovering this little gem of a hike a few years ago, I have been determined to make it up here with my camera when the leaves were changing, but have been sidelined by a bad knee or unlucky enough to miss-timed when to expect the colors. I had reason to believe this was 'the week', but I had spent the week recovering from surgery and by the weekend, as I began to feel better, instead of hiking weather we had a dreary weekend of rain predicted, making me afraid I might once again miss my opportunity. But when a window of blue sky opened up Sunday on this otherwise very rainy weekend I suggested to my friend, "Let's go!", and he resoundingly said "Yes!" and off we went. Apparently this was my lucky year!

As frequently happens I've had a hard time deciding which pictures to post, so here is my indecisive collection of similar, yet different shots.

I wrote a little haiku to go along some of these pictures...
