Autumn Roundup

As the colors fade and snow is in the forecast, I thought I'd assemble a few shots from this autumn season.
I worked overtime the last couple of months (loving every second of it),

 and tried not to let a single opportunity slip by.

Last year's colors were miserable in North Idaho, due to an early freeze, so I was eager to make the most of this fall,
my favorite season.

I was fortunate to make a quick trip to Southeastern Idaho and the Tetons in Late September.
I hope to do it again next year.

In the Centennial Valley of Southwestern Montana I found vibrant aspens in peak color.

In mid October I traveled to Northwest Washington, Bellingham and the Mt. Baker Area.

It's been a wonderful season,
one I think I would never tire of.

Up next... fog and snow.
