mmegaeraFrom what it looked like last June. My friend L. and I went up for the day today. The weather was nippy (if it was much above freezing I would be very surprised) and a bit breezy, but it's such a different world up there in October. The road to Sunrise will be closed for the winter in a couple more weeks, so this was our last chance for the year.
Large photos behind the cut to save my FL
The trail leading up to Mt. Burroughs from the Sunrise parking lot. The grass is all the color of my fawn tabby cat, Linnet, but the shades and textures are just as beautiful as in June. It almost looks like a manicured park. From a distance.
After we bundled up, we went for a walk, picking our way over the frozen, partly-snowcovered path.
These were the last of the flowers. They're pearly everlastings. There were lots of interesting seedheads to see, too, though.
There is a mountain in there somewhere. The clouds thickened and lowered even further as the day went on.
We saw a six-point buck. You can't see the antlers because he chose that second to put his head behind a tree limb, but they're there [g].
After we got back to the car, where we ate our lunch (it being entirely too cold for picnicking outdoors), it began to snow.
We took another walk after lunch, anyway.
On our way home, we stopped to take pictures of some of the lovely fall foliage.
Not much by Back East standards, but it is beautiful.
All in all, a very good day. But my nose is still cold [g].
