IN SEARCH OF COLOR

On this day I decided to drive to Greer Arizona to look for "color" - fall leaves. Just out of Show Low I began to see bright yellow and orange dotting the hillsides. ASPEN!! I took a few off-road detours to explore and discovered a couple of lovely little lakes. When I finally reached Greer, I realized that the best color was toward Sunrise and Big Lake. So I quickly backtracked so as not to lose the light. It was a beautiful day!!

HAWLEY LAKE - AUGUST 2013

What a beautiful day it was at Hawley Lake! The summer rain clouds were rolling in. There was a lovely breeze that kept us cool and comfortable. And the scenery was spectacular!!

AUTUMN - THE YEAR'S LAST LOVELIEST SMILE

Even though we don't have beautiful fall leaves where I live, I am thankful that I can search for "color" online and find an endless array of photographs that help to satisfy my craving for Autumn.

FALL IN SHOW LOW

Journaling:
November 2, 2014 - It's a beautiful fall day here in Show Low, located in the mountains of Northeastern Arizona. The weather changes constantly - overcast & rainy, blue skies & clouds, and then moments when the sun peeks out to shine brilliantly on yellow, orange and green leaves. How I love Fall in the mountains!!

Additional Note: I took these photos in our yard where we park our RV year-round in White Mountain Vacation Village. The weathered wood is the deck patio and the steps down to the storage shed. I love the look of the pine needles on the steps in this photo but not in reality. The needles are dirty and messy and a pain to rake up in the rock landscape and planters.
