Last of Summer

Yesterday we rode up Mill B trail, north of Strawberry Reservoir. The high country hills are showing the first touches of autumn. 

A few aspen leaves have changed,

but most are still green.  That won't last long.  By next week, gold will predominate. 

Monkeyflower

A few flowers are still out. 

Lupine

Most have done their summer blossoming and have already gone to seed. 

Gooseberries

Elderberries

Berries are plentiful. 

The days are still warm and beautiful at 10,000 feet.
