Autumn Reflections

Aspen's autumn leaves are in their glory right now.  Above, Currant Creek Reservoir reflects the surrounding mountain beauty. 
We rode the valleys above the reservoir and admired nature's fall show. 
Steve, Boss and Daisy surged ahead at times.
Then they all showed off by pretending to take a nap while Mischief and I caught up!
We found a Mormon cricket (actually a katydid), over an inch long. 
A small pond, a gift from our beaver friends, shines with reflected aspen light.

  2. Tell you what, that first photo may be the most spectacular reflection I've ever seen.

    Not only does Steve have high SPF rating but a sense of humor as well.

  8. I do love Utah Mountains in the Fall--so lovely. Last week when we were on top of the Manti I saw a cricket that was white--almost clear. Do you know what it is?
