Last days of summer

I have seen snow hiding in the mountains in the back row of our local range this week. Friday at the State Fair, as I mentioned before, just about froze us right back to our warm car (we stepped out of line to seriously consider whether we had enough clothes on to be there).

Today (Saturday) was an entirely different story. The sun shone and it hit at least 70, but none of us experienced it because we were having a super fun time cleaning the house!

By a quarter to six, we were finally ready to head to Mirror Lake to play. I figured it would still be crowded since it is a weekend day and still light out until fairly late, but we were the only ones there for almost the entire time. Such beauty as fall approaches...the leaves are beginning to change and the mountain's reflection on the water transferred magnificently into these photographs.

  3. As in, chilly toes? Why no. At that point, my hands are usually in my pockets, not on the camera. :P

  4. Wow! Those photos are spectacular. After reading about being chilly, I was getting cold just looking at the little ones in the water. Brrr.
