Beautiful Hike!


It's awfully pretty in 'them there hills'!!

Ducks on the pond sing a happy song.....

Just getting ready to start the hike. Isn't dad handsome?

The camera didn't do this justice either, but the LIGHTING was so beautiful on these trees, I had to try to capture it!

The trail was strewn with beautiful flowers!

Yellow and green hillside.......do you see Mickey Mouse rocks near the treeline?

Shadow and Sunshine

Silver Lake. If you blow this up, you can see ducks taking off in flight, that is why the water has a ripple pattern across it!

The contrast of dark green and yellow was so beautiful.

This was so pretty, the camera didn't do it justice. The yellow quaky leaves had fallen down on this gorgeous evergreen, made it look like it had yellow Christmas balls on it!

All that hiking and this is where you end up......at the 'twin lakes' that supply our drinking water. Doesn't look that appetizing, and was sooooo low, it's a good thing it's almost winter.

Thanks for the beautiful picture post. We have hills, not mountains, here, and although I love the vibrant colors fall brings to our deciduous trees, I miss the mountains.

Wow! Really nice pictures Mom! Glad you got to see it before there was a foot of snow there!

That looks like a good hike. We'd like to get in one more hike before winter. Not sure if that's possible.
