Fall colors are starting at Windy Point last weekend. The kids had fun, I swear. I went there to pick rosehips. We got close to three Dall sheep (two ewes and a lamb).

An afternoon hike with Ava and a few other big girls, local trailhead, lots of playing in hemlocks. Have a look at that termination dust (first snowfall of the season) on the high peak.
