The summer air has been cooled; then cooled again, from rain storms, which either move gently over us, or violent with thrashing winds and wicked electric storms.
Saturday we went with jeeping friends on a leisure ride, to Silverjack Reservoir and over Owl Creek Pass.
The magic light of the forest mingling, with the rain, did not diminish the colors
The aspens, scrub oak and dark green of the pines glowed, lighting up the drizzly day
Silverjack Reservoir area was just beautiful
Our pathway lined with gold
We met the purity of snow, on the top of Owl Creek Pass
Then down we went to the other side. The brilliant colors a joy to our eyes
The last bit of wonder, before we turned toward home.
From my world to your heart!

It’s nice that you were able to enjoy multiple seasons on your Saturday drive. It’s even nicer that you were able to take some time off for the ride and time with friends.

But cold can be enlivening and refreshing, while constant heat is definitely enervating!

One of the best times to be in southwestern Colorado. The colors are beautiful, as usual, and you get a little taste of winter up high.

(” I don’t get out much ” ) — I should have recognized owl creek pass area! Due to spending most of last November in Ridgway! but have only been to SilverJack in the 1970’s when I worked for Gunnison County.
