Fall Evening In The Rockies

Our horse trainer, Nichole Zupan, was here this evening to work with our blind two-year old, Nikki.  I took this photo of Nichole riding Nikki in the round pen.  To the right is Alayne on blind Domino.  The cottonwoods have all turned gold and yellow now, and so too have the aspens.  Today was one of those glorious fall days in the Rockies, as you can tell from the photo.  In this shot you're looking to the southeast, facing Markum Mountain.

On the way out to take that photo of Nichole and Alayne, I stopped and took this one, looking north towards Ovando Mountain.  The white house is where Alayne and I live, and some of our first animal cottages are off to the right.  The building on the far left is our main dog building, Widget's House.

The animals love these beautiful fall days as much as we do ... but they also know that winter is right around the corner, so we're all soaking it in and enjoying it while we can.

Thanks for the beautiful pics of fall in the Rockies! It will be a long time before I see fall, as only some nights I get to open the windows for cooler air. I really enjoyed the beautiful photos.
Hugs to all,

Happy Fall to y'all!
