Autumn Peaks

Here are pictures fresh from my little camera.  The Alpine Loop, the road over Mount Timpanogos was so alive and vibrant with fall colors yesterday that I've gleaned a few favorites from the many I took and I've laid them out here for you to enjoy. The mountain air was lightly crisp, but the sun still felt warm on my skin.  It was a perfect autumn day.  I wish you'd been there.  - Laura

I was expecting fall colors, but they were so amazingly rich.  This picture almost, but not quite, does it justice.

Ok, I just couldn't resist this one in back and white, despite the fall colors.  I love the strong lines in it and the punctuation of the waning moon in the morning sky.

Many of the pines were decorated in aspen leaves and looked quite festive.

This glorious scene was taken near the summit. Snow on top already!

The Golden Path.

This splash of red caught my eye.  I love the details in nature. It might be Columbine, which I adore.
