On Golden Pond ...




Well, the autumn leaves are turning drab or falling off, so the peak of the color is past. Still, it's been and still is a joy to drive around the Mancos Valley and to Durango and back. Cortez will hang on a little longer, being lower.

There's a beaver pond next to US 160 just east of Mancos that was beautifully reflecting the golden foliage along its banks yesterday afternoon. Hadda go back and enjoy it!

There's a little aspen in a creekbed near Hesperus that always fascinates me in the fall ... it makes its own bold statement for the beauty of autumn.

So, after getting our fill of fall colors, we went to the Millwood for BBQ last night and stayed for the Colin Lake concert. He's a nice, personable guy with an easy style ... did lots of blues with improvisations. Nice evening, even if he kept us up past our bedtime! tv

I really liked the one with the reflection in the water.
