With morning temps in the 20's, Buck and I have
been spending more time on the couch and less time outdoors.
But, this Sunday the weather warmed up and we drove south to explore
a meadow that boasts of "trophy cutthroats".
Even though we did not come across any of them,
the quiet space and fall colors made the day memorable.
With blood orange San Pellegrinos packed, we hiked in the meadow
stripping streamers and watching the cutthroats chase them as they neared the bank.
The red, orange, and yellow hues made parts of the vegetation look as though they were on fire.
Without the sounds of crickets and hoppers, it was pleasantly quiet and serene.
As we were leaving, we saw this fellow hunting for dinner as well as a beaver and a herd of elk.
The October colors reflected in the stream as the sun set and the fish rose to midges.
We are hoping for a few more days like this before winter.
