Autumn's Yellow, Orange, Red !

Mammoth Creek Area, in the Dixie National Forest, Utah
September 8,2016

Colors are appearing and flourishing in the high country elevations. Never mind the calendar, this was taken on September 8, 2016. Nothing can hold it back as the evenings cool crisp air turns the mountain sides of brilliant colored aspen from summer green to the golds and yellows, oranges and reds of autumn. 

Rabbit Bush signals the end of summer in Utah.

Even in my backyard at 6,000 ft, autumn transforms the rabbit bush to a bright golden yellow. And there are other yellow, bee loving, cousins like the wild sunflowers full of yellow petaled blooms and the California Poppies. 

California Poppies , bees love them. See the yellow pockets on the bees legs full of pollen?

I saw Bambi !

Bambi: We entered the forest after passing a massive lava flow on the Markagunt Plateau. We had seen antelope on the way through the meadow. In the forest we entered into a new world of aspen and Ponderosa pine. There were pockets of light dappled in the darkness and I heard a snap* of a branch. I looked and saw "something" large sweeping through the trees. Was it an antelope or a deer? I heard the footsteps snapping twigs and then it was silent. There in the dark pocket of the shadows between the trees is where the sound stopped. I motioned to my husband to stop and pointed in that direction and I took aim and Click* not knowing what I would see emerge from the photograph. I do not have photo shop and all my photographs are quite true to color and quality. I do have a feature that allows me to lift a shadow. Imagine my surprise when I saw this beauty emerge from the shadows. It looks like a Disney painting to me. I just love it.

If you ever get a chance to walk through a forest do it. You can not think about your daily life here as your eyes meet with the beauty and wonder of light flora and fauna. It is pure stress relief and will bathe your mind and body in all those feel good chemicals and boost your immune function and all your systems will be attuned to Nature.
