In the Eastern Sierra.
Casting trees in autumnal hues,
fringing lakes in liquid gold.
Creatures are scarce now,
as winter waits,
to toss her veil.
Cheers to you from the Sierras in the fall and prayers for those in the path of fire~

What gorgeous scenery you’ve captured, Cindy. I’m not a photog, but I like the angles you chose.
Thank you very much! I am very pleased you enjoyed them & cheers to you~
The Eastern Sierras are definately on our return list. – Oscar
Good, Maybe next time we will be there at the same time!
how beautiful!
a memory
of past adventures 🙂
Love the feeling evoked by your poem!
Some stunning vistas here, Cindy. Would you like to choose one of your lovely photos as a guest submission to my Monday mystery feature on my blog? I post linkbacks to your site and credit you as photographer. I usually post them for two weeks. If you are interested, you can find my email under my profile ( on my gravatar, in the side bar). Much appreciated if you wish to do this.
Well, how thoughtful of you thank you! I could pick a photo and send, or you can pick any of my photos you want that match the theme of your post which might be better. Let me know your preference and many thanks for your kindness!
There isn’t a theme, Cindy. Each week is something new. I would love photos of somewhere in the American contintent, as I haven’t featured many of those. Would that be possible?
How about your pick from these photos in Utah?

I think the fourth one with the water in front of the rocks would be good. Is that a well known spot? I would need a sentence or two about it to post on the week of the ‘solution’ post. Would that be okay?
How about something like (Edit freely and shorten please!) :
This photo was taken on The Potash Road Dinosaur Tracks and Petroglyph cite in Moab Utah. Some of the petroglyphs in Moab are estimated to be from 3500 BC. The road along this river is covered with ancient petroglyphs sending messages to us from people in the past, and dinosaur footprints walking right alongside the road!
Perfect, Thanks Cindy! I will post a pingback to you when it is pubished, in a week or so.

Thanks Cindy.
De nada!
Hi Cindy, I am glad to have found your blog.
I love these pictures.
Well, it is a pleasure to meet and thank you for stopping by!
We drove through the Sierras in mid-September and the leaves were just starting to turn in some areas. Beautiful pictures! Was sorry we couldn’t wait for the full Fall Foliage!
It’s hard to time it isn’t it. The same thing happened to me when I went east to see the leaves change!
You have such a great eye. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you more for the kind appreciation!
Gorgeous, Cindy!
I love the eastern Sierra! So happy you enjoyed & cheers to you~ <3
Stunning photos!
Awww, you are a thoughtful friend <3
Cheers to you capturing the essence of fall. My fav is the second pic, which set the tone (for me).
Thank you! Those autumnal hues are hard to top.
Such amazing pictures, a wonderful world truly! ( where it has not been detroyed)
Yes, the terrible destruction is happening on the western side of the Sierra Nevadas. Awful~
There is nothing like the scent of the first snow on the air, and the hushed waiting quality of the world.
Yes. It is my favorite time of year. Quiet and expectant~
A good time for reflection.
Yes, and hot chocolate~
These are beautiful. The water from high lakes is always so beautifully clear (although I woudn’t recommend swimming it -brrrr) . The trouble is it is so inviting and you’ve made me want to swim in it. 😀
On your mark, get set, GO!

mmm I’ll be polite – after you 🙂
tee hee……
Gorgeous pictures with those blue skies. And, yes, prayers to all those dealing with the terrible fires. It’s heartbreaking.
It is heartbreaking and way too frequent~
This is beautiful, Cindy!! 😀
Most appreciated and Happy Fall!
Simply stunning scenery and photographs 🙂
I should add, “very autumnal”…
Thank you so much! I was just over enjoying your wonderful blog and photos~

Thanks so much and lovely to meet you!
Sierra falls are gorgeous! This is two hours south of where I grew up. I join you in your prayers for those touched by the wildland fires.
I am sorry I missed your message! You grew up in God’s country <3
Can we camp on this lake?
Yes. There are over 100 lakes up here and you can camp all over the place!
