26 Sept 2011 - Fall Colors

24 Sept 2011 - Fall Sunset

With the cool nights and warm days, our landscape changes dramatically each day and  the sunset tonight reflected the Autumn colors.

23 Sept 2011 - Hummingbirds have flown south

Every morning we get up and check to see if Hummingbirds are still around.  Our cat sits quietly near the kitchen window where he can watch the Hummingbirds feed.

Well after two consecutive nights of  below freezing  temperatures, the Hummingbirds have finally headed south.  We try to keep records of when they arrive and leave but this year it seems that they have stuck around longer. They migrate south to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. We will look forward to them returning around April'12.

15 Sept 2011 - First Snow

Last night it snowed in Summit County. This is a photo of Peak 8 in Breckenridge. They appeared to have gotten more snow than Gore Range across the valley from our house.

16 Sept Update: Our friend Ruth Drew pointed out to me that this photo was actually taken last March/April time frame. I wanted to post a photo of the Gore Range from yesterday's snow but cloud base covered the mountains and I was not able to get a photo.

13 Sept 2011 - Double Rainbows

On August 29th and September 2nd, we were treated with Double Rainbows. At least we did not freakout like the person in the video below.
