Fall in the High Country

Posted on October 19, 2019 by

Summer in the Colorado mountains lasted precisely until the fall equinox.  Then a cool wind began to blow, heralding the new season’s arrival.  These pictures were taken that weekend.

Seasons change quickly at 9,000 feet.  Three weeks later, the leaves are mostly gone, the wind is more chill, and winter’s darker tones predominate.  Far be it from me to complain about winter.  I celebrate it now.  It’s our lifeline to planetary health.  Long and hard and moist may it reign.

    Thank you, Ian. It’s hard for me to imagine that the seasons are different in your beautiful part of the world. We turn to winter and you to spring. There’s poetry in that.
