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~
I have always wanted to stay for an extended period of time on a high mountain lake,
in the Eastern Sierras, far from people,
in the fall,
As the temperature drops each day,
critters have time to prepare for winter. (Golden Mantled Squirrel)
Winter still holds herself back.
Tonite it will be 21 degrees F.
Cheers to you from the beauty, refuge, and safety, of the wilderness (chipmunk)~
