Falling into Winter

It's that time of year again, yellow cottonwood and birch along with a some lower scrubby bushes and fireweed stalks that turn red. It is definitely not the Midwest/Northeast fall color show, but we are well aware that the season has changed, shorter days, snow on the higher peaks, cooler and darker mornings, but we are still awaiting our first frost. The colors peaked this past weekend and after a few more days of the wind like we are getting today, I suspect we will be down to bare trees before long.

Most of the summer and fall, we've been successful in our goal of getting on our bikes on a regular basis. Nothing long or furious just turning the pedals for a little bit of exercise after work. When we left today, I promised Bryant I wouldn't bring the camera. However, I did get in a few clicks from yesterday's ride.
