Autumn is Dancing with Summer


watery eye candy


the spirit of autumn breathed on a summer leaf and look what happened


music to my ears and eyes


a couple weeks ago.... just a tinge of gold in the woodland


another glimpse of Many Glacier


a visitor at my pond


along a tiny brook
high mountain flowers


traveled over the mountains
a long dirt road
and 
came upon a black bear

~
a bit of this
a bit of that
summer leans into autumn

  2. The owl and bear are a delight, as are those scenic views.

    I've seen the first of the fall colours here as well.

    1. so glad you enjoyed our wildlife. I do too.
      I hear fall colors are happening in many places now.
      Suppose to get below freezing tonight, that should bring the colors on!

  3. I love that line, "summer leans into autumn." It's what's happening in my mountains, too. I like the long view of the stream with the clear water and lovely rocks. Those pink wildflowers look like Parry Primrose. I usually see them growing along streams in spring. Is your owl friend going fishing? I'm seeing bear tracks but no bear - yet...

    1. thank you for enjoying the words Barb. Yes, I could see the colors coming on in your post, wahoo, change of seasons.
      Thank you for enjoying glimpses. The pink flowers were late summer at high altitude. I think they are Lewis's monkey flower. Yes, the owl might have been fishing, but it flew away when i stepped out to take it's photo. Tracks are fun to see, they keep us present.

  4. Wonderful pre-autumn shots. A gorgeous leaf in its autumn robe and the babbling brook with high mountain flowers. I always love to see those coloured rocks under the water. Your owl visitor is so immobile, he could be a statue! That black bear looks really close, I'm holding my breath for you! So many beautiful things to see where you live!

    1. hello Dear Sandra,

      Thank you for your thoughts, mentioning of the different images.
      The bear, it seemed a teenager to me and I was driving, so no threat at all. It looked at me, looked away, thought, then trotted into the woods.
      I continue to look out the window, hoping to see the owl again, but I have not. I did do a painting with it there, so I doubt I will forget.

  7. Wow, that bear! And the owl!
    Sometime I look at your photos and I have no words - because I just inhale, deeply, and wonder...

  8. Always a joy to come and breathe in the fresh mountain air through you photos and words. Here in the flat lands our signs of the season change are much more subtle but you can feel it in the air. Love the owl photo the best ♥

  9. Your world is filled with such beauty -- and bears, too! I hope you had a good zoom on that because he looks a tad too close for comfort! What color you see -- ahead of us for the most part. A reminder of things to come. And your reflections... sigh.
