Fall with Hints of Winter

Ruby Mountain Fall

It's fall here in our Ruby Mountains in Northeastern Nevada. This is definitely my favorite season. The colors are incredible!

Another shot in Lamoille Canyon with snow on the mountain tops and white sky which means there's more snow on the way:

Wild plum tree in our backyard....I love the purple next to the orange and green:

Poor Neglected Blog

Poor, neglected blog! It's been a whole month. The old computer was on its last legs, and the transition to a new one has not exactly been smooth. I still need to re-install Photoshop, and then there should be some new fall pix.

Moth

I wonder if this big guy is related to the green caterpillar that I blogged about on July 31.

Beaver Dam in Lamoille Canyon

We hiked a bit in Lamoille Canyon when Dave and Amanda were here on Monday. The beaver dams are so pretty this time of year.

Can you spot Dave and Amanda in the second picture? (click either image for a larger view)

Caterpillar!

It's a good thing this guy's so well camouflauged. He would probably make a tasty morsel for the right bird.

Old As Dirt

We celebrated a friend's monumental birthday (that would be any birthday ending in a zero or a five) with an Old As Dirt Party at Lois' house. I fall near the middle with three of the group older than me and five younger. Left to right, back row, Carolyn, Colleen, Lois, Kristen, Gretchen, Melody; front row, Mayzee the hound, Ann the birthday girl, Robyn, Delynn.
