The transition to autumn has begun. Late summer wildflowers are fewer and smaller, many have gone all to seed with no blooms left. Aspens leaves are turning golden yellow and contrast beautifully with the greens of the conifers. The broadtail hummingbirds are leaving the area and will be remembered fondly until next spring. Their rival, rufous, is long gone. Nights are very cool and mid-days warm. I want to write that it’s my favorite time of year, but in January I may contradict that when I proclaim my love for winter.
wow, lovely photos, specially the humming bird, that really is stunning
Long time, no see.
Good to see your work again. Hummingbird image a nice perspective…different.
I had the pleasure of seeing my first Rufous Hummingbird, off course in upstate NY in late October.
Hope all is well.
