Know exactly what you mean. I fell in love with Utah’s mountains for the same reason when I lived there. The ocean is closest to my heart, but the mountains come in a close second. Next is the desert, but not in the summer. 😉
Growing up in the desert, I had much less appreciation of it than I do now. But when I go back to AZ for an occasional visit, I find it quite beautiful. But not in the summer. 😉
Wow, I didn’t know that some of your trees go dormant. The juxtaposition of autumn leaves and the tropical plants makes me do a double take. And look how close the mountains are – they look huge!
Hope you have a delicious Thanksgiving in both food and company! 🙂
Most neighborhoods I’ve lived in in LA have very few trees that turn color & drop their leaves. This one has more of them. It’s a treat for me to see, since most of the trees stay green.
beautiful!

Thank you David.
Fall seemed to be a very long time coming, and it is so very welcome to be in.
Looking forward to winter-ish images from up there!

Lovely pictures, MK. The leaves have all nearly fallen here in Sunny Southern Indiana. :-O

Thanks Peter. I was born in Sunny Northern Indiana (South Bend) but grew up in Arizona. I bet southern Indiana is quite beautiful.

Thanks Gunta. I love the way the mountain changes from morning till evening. It’s quite close – only 10 miles up the road.
