last day of autumn before the winter snow

With the weather forecast predicting the first winter storm approaching, I took advantage of what would possibly be the last chance to enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves. My husband and I traveled into the Wasatch Mountains and were rewarded with breath taking scenery. We saw other artists, photographers and tourists doing the same thing. We spooked a few deer, who in turn spooked us when they bounded out of the brush beside us. I was drawn to this small path, It seemed to be such a quiet restful place to stop and rest from the cares of the world. ~ marilynn





this reminds me of a place in japan called Kanazawa. Kanazawa is a lot like the Heber valley in that it is completely surrounded by mountains. I found comfort in those mountains because they reminded me of home. It is ironic now seeing this picture and being reminded of those mountains and comforted. Thank you for your work.
