rainbow falls trails  oct 12 2010

The stark contrast of trees along Rainbow Falls trail near Mammoth Lakes -- to me a symbol of living and dying. Brilliant golds, pastel greens, and black dead trees - what a view!

mcgee creek  october 15 2010

 Amazing colors! And they say one has to go to Boston to be drenched in autumn warm.  Hiked from the McGee trail head up the mountain. Snow has fallen on the tips of the high sierras -- a wonderful juxtaposition with the brilliant yellows of the aspens.  While walking through the narrow path, a strong breeze shook the trees and  yellow aspen leaves fluttered by . It was raining gold! Bliss!
