Fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp air and changing leaves and the smells all this brings. My favorite place to go in the fall is the mountains. The Uintas in particular.
I spent most of Saturday, the first day of the deer hunt, hiking and driving along t
he Mirror Lake Highway. I saw a lot of hunters but heard only one shot all day. Near Christmas Meadows was a family of deer grazing peacefully. I parked very close and they didn't seem to mind.
I met a family of pine cones enjoying a post-picnic siesta in the sunshine.
All the forest creatures were in quite a pleasant mood that day.
Mr. Beaver got a little spooked when he tried to take a bite out of Miss Aspen and her two brothers showed up. So Mr. Beaver headed home for the night.
And a fine night it was.

Fall is the best time of year. A cold (sweatshirt cold not snowy cold) overcast October day is my favorite. I actually saw a little snow falling on the way home from work tonight.
Fall is also my favorite time of year. Too bad we woke up to snow on the ground today =( Bummer.
You should have asked that little pinecone family if they would like to come to my house to play. I am collecting pinecones for Christmas wreaths! You always have some great pictures.
