Fall leaves and snow

Saturday it rained and snowed in northern Utah. I spent several hours in Heber. When I left just after 4, the rain was turning to snow. I had planned to go the long way home and enjoy the Alpine Loop again. I debated for a few minutes and decided I would turn around if the road was bad. I got out of the car a couple of times to take pictures but it was cold enough most of the pictures were taken from inside the car. Most of the trees had some snow, from a distance the it looked almost like a icing glace on the fall leaves. There was some mist that added to the beauty.

About halfway up the east side of the loop, I turned a corner to see a moose in the middle of the road. I slowed down and the moose left the road. By the time I got the camera out and on, the moose was out of sight. It would have been nice to get a picture.

Sunday after church I again enjoyed the Alpine Loop. Except for a little snow in some shady places and on the tops of the mountains, there was no sign of Saturday's snow. These 2 pictures were taken of the same group of trees, one on Saturday, the other on Sunday.

Have spindle, will travel

This weekend I again went to enjoy the beautiful fall leaves. I took a walk with my camera around my neck and the camera bag around my waist. The camera bag held my keys. Some of the time it held my spindle, some of the time I was spinning. When I returned to the car, I put the case on a big rock to take this picture.
