Our golden world as we leave for Florida for the winter

Ohio Pass

Heavy emphasis on fall pics I took in the past few weeks. Leaves are falling as I write. It is gorgeous every year but oh so brief. We drove out of our area leaf watching and in the end we have some of the best color around close to home.

And the cowboys are back in action rounding up cattle. I feel privileged to see this way of life- still amazes me after 15 years up here. These were our neighbor's cattle but coincidentally Star Mt. cattle were taken out this same day by our rancher. No more cattle for us until next June.

From my morning walks at Star Mt. Fabulous stuff and I never take it for granted.

The photos below were taken in the in the last couple days. Went up Mill Creek after missing the drive last year due to the wildfire. Everything has turned orangish and blowing off like crazy. Fall must come to an end and it does like clockwork every year.

Mill Creek -partial view of the wildfire from last year. Burned trees removed on the left - looks much better. 

We leave for Florida soon. Already had to reschedule arrival due to Hurricane Milton. Hoping it doesn't leave chaos and destruction. We were lucky with Helene, others were not as everyone knows. Prayers for all.

sandhill cranes last week - what are they doing here in the fall? Travel stop or perhaps waiting for hurricane season to go by.
