Changing Seasons

Fresh snow has fallen on the higher mountains, and fall colours are just starting to change in the meadows.
Bunchberry blossoms have given way to berries.

Late-blooming king gentian is abundant in the meadows.

Finally saw the elusive Great Blue Heron in the meadows that has been reported over the last couple of weeks. Sandhill Cranes have been flying over, migrating south.
