an autumn-themed photo. Think the few I have are on my 'retired' laptop--gotta get another OS installed.
Anyhoo, here's one of my stock photos of my old stomping grounds/home (Interior Alaska) that I use as a background banner for a couple of my Twitter accounts. The stark winter photo is from one of our favorite places, and, our little Alaskan Sourdough/first Springer's namesake - Chena Hot Springs.
Everyone have a nice weekend.

Can't match Autumn colors of the NE, but can do green.
After being away for so long, and fully challenged during that time, I am feeling especially grateful to be home. I am comforted by the gentleness of its climate, its fresh air and birdsong, and the sense of belonging it kindles in me.
I hope you are all enjoying the comfort of home and the solace it brings.
It's good to see you back in your element!
Love the ferns. So peaceful.

and thanks for hosting tonight. I lost track of time and was waiting till later this month to go to a favorite spot to get some photos. I thought we were still in September. Doh!
These was taken in an area where the mountain composition changes a lot. Granite. Sandstone. I took an exit I had no idea where it went but glad I did.
There is snow on the top of the rocks.
This is where I meant to go last month.

Is it unusual for sandstone and granite to compose a rock structure?

It's the area where I took this. Just a few miles up the road from there is a huge sandstone area where the film industry filmed a western that are usually done down in the castle valley or Moab area. It looks like this type of rock or sandstone.
I posted a photo of another weird rock formation that juts up in the middle of a hillside of different type of geography. Maybe I'm not explaining it well enough. But this area is very interesting. And I want to find a way to photograph it but it's right next to the freeway.

of hiking trips through southern Utah. Zion (hiking the narrows), Bryce, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, Arches/Moab (maybe the best), and I think further west, that strange place with the dwarf red rock sculptures. Lake Powell. Green River, Dinosaur Nat'l Park, Josie's Cabin, petroglyphs, stone structures of the Ute and Paiute. Even an amazing flash flood. So real back then, like a dream now, they will stay with me forever.

Sadly I do not know what it's called. I used to know the names of most trees because I did bonsai, but never learned anything about shrubs,
Hopefully next year I will be able to show the trees I've grown from seeds that I'm growing in bonsai pots. They are deciduous trees and I really don't know how to treat them during winter. I'm hoping that one of them is a Keebler elf tree.

Sorry I am real bad about being on topic with pix...
There is a guy with a big famous plane collection, mostly warbirds, been building a compound the last couple years a short way down the highway from me. Sometimes they go right over our yard, as these first couple shots. Last week I ran the mile down the highway and parked by runway and grabbed a couple shots on final approach.
This is two F7F Tigercats on right, a F8 Bearcat on left, and a P-40 2nd from left.
The two F7 Tigercats, there are not 10 left flying.
F-8 Bearcat, like the P-51 can do about 500 mph when souped up right.
Those Navy pilots don't know what end goes up.
The F8 on final approach
This is a P-51 Mustang, actually a TF-51d to be more specific, on final approach.

Great vid clip! Awesome lawn mower that Spitfire is! I think I only ever saw a replica, never saw a real one. Built the model when I was a kid, and a Hawker Hurricane, and a Mosquito of course. What a great bunch of planes. Must have been great to see them!
