It’s Officially Fall in Wyoming
It’s Officially Fall in Wyoming
The last few days have been a crazy roller coaster of weather. Typical mountain fall, warm and sunny one day, rain and snow the next. It’s Officially Fall in Wyoming.
The weekend was warm and nice, although Sunday was pretty windy. That was the clue things were changing. Monday was sunny, and very nice, and we went for a nice hike along the river and enjoyed the fall colors.
Monday night I could here it raining, and we woke up to a wet world. Usually in the early mornings I will hike along the river and look for wildlife, Monday I opted to drive around instead.
I found this young moose with his mom, wet and fluffy.
This very young bull felt the same about the rain.
I drove down Mormon row to see what the bison were up to. These pronghorn antelope were perfectly posed with the new snowy mountains behind them.
These ravens in a tree didn’t seem to mind the wet world.
That afternoon it was warm and sunny all over again, so I hiked the river in the afternoon. These little fawns were out and about enjoying the sunshine and warmth.
I stopped at a great spot on the river and enjoyed the sun. I made this little video while standing in the river.
Wednesday morning was rainy and dark again. the clouds broke for a while, so I headed out the door for my morning river walk. I scared up this blue heron, who flew ahead then landed on the bank.
30 seconds after I took these photos, the rain started again. I’ve never seen the sky change so fast. I hustled back to the RV, wet and cold. That afternoon I took Al in to the gallery were he is sculpting as part of the Fall Art Festival. It’s a great time to talk to people in the gallery, and hopefully sell some sculptures. I went to Moose Wilson road and went hiking there.
It started out sunny and nice, but that black sky was headed my way. Not one to be rained on twice in one day, I hustled back to the truck.
I love the fall here. The colors, the sky, the whole atmosphere. It’s a golden time, that’s for sure.
Fabulous. Just fabulous.
Our fall last year was spectacular, but this year it’s off to a strange start. The nights have been getting cooler, but we’ve had so much rain that some trees’ leaves are just shriveling up instead of turning colors. Then, next week the temps are rising again to 90! LOVELY WYOMING, Mary!!!
Wow, 90! I din’t think we will see that for a while.
I miss fall in the west. Thanks for sharing beautiful reminders of the season!
I love the fall, and I’m glad I can share it with you.
The deer photo looks so nice, we would like to get up and hug him. Clear water like in the video is so wonderful! We see so much lake water and dirty river water, it is always nice to know there is still pure water in nature.
The water here is certainly clear. I don’t know if the deer would like a hug. Lol. His mama would object for sure. Are you getting my comments on your blog? I seem to be getting caught in the spam trap lately.
You and one other have fallen into spam all of the sudden. Not sure why, but I always check spam before I delete it and I move you over to approved. Thanks for letting me know, though.
Wow that’s one of the most threatening skies I’ve ever seen! It’s amazing how quickly the weather can change. I love your video, I should play it at night in a nonstop loop because it’s excellent for relaxation. I’m always so happy to see such crystal clear water, it has unfortunately become something of a rarity these days. What a beautiful place.
The skies and weather change so fast here, it’s amazing. That storm held a lot of rain too.
The first image is so beautiful, Mary! Love the bird capture especially. :)
Thanks. The birds are beautiful here. Are you getting my comments? They seem to be getting caught as spam lately.
Hello, great collection of nature photos. I love the moose and the pronghorn. Enjoy your day!
It’s a beautiful place to be, that’s for sure!! Fall here in Greenville, SC, still has not arrived, though the super-hot days are finally giving way to highs in the mid-to-upper 80s. Maybe by mid-October we’ll be down to the 70s?
Wow wow wow – your images are just breath-taking!
I can’t believe how clear that water is…gorgeous! We are getting the up and down fall weather here too, but we’re still really low on rain so they say we probably won’t have very colorful foliage this year. :(
Pretty country, great pictures. It is still hot here, around 90.
Gosh I loe that area! I can see why you love to go there every year!
With all of that wildlife so close, I’m not sure my bloodhounds could keep their sanity … lol
Just plain incredible wildlife photos! I am in awe.
It is autumn here too. Chilly with some rain. Stay warm but enjoy those colors!
Oh I am so glad I am getting caught up with you and your travels. When I am on my ipad I cant comment as easily on any blogs. So here I am on my laptop and enjoying your photography! Spectacular! ENJOY!!
I am headed for AZ very soon… still in Pennsylvania enjoying this last day of Summer!
Take care! Hugs!
