Hah! My 4-year-old daughter looked at the spiky seed pods in the sweet gum trees yesterday, and told me seriously that there was covid in the trees. The pods do resemble coronavirus images... And yet, we continued our walk.

Guess days and places like these are God's way to show us there's no need to bring down Babel Towers, just leave them behind.

Are you sure those aren't from Gatito Bueno? Beautiful. Love the golden Aspen! Those pictures make me want to breathe deeply and stare. I do wish all the pictures had come through though. Some wouldn't display.

Interesting timing for me, this post. I've been seriously thinking of heading to that area to escape from Maskachusetts for a while.

Thank you for taking the time share these pictures!

And for being cat friendly with a great sense of humor. 😹

And for doing your homework with careful analysis, nice graphics and hyperlinks to sources.

And for posting on a platform without trackers and annoying pop-ups and ads to obscure your communications.

Your posts are as refreshing as the stunning pictures of nature you shared!

Thanks!

When you realize you live in the same general vicinity as the famous bad cat who is good with numbers and ideas.... <head explode> The colors are, by far, the best I've ever seen this year.

Just did a rim-to-rim hike of the Grand Canyon. The fall colors on the north side are just amazing.

Wonderful pictures, thanks for taking the time for sharing. Days like this one really help one mentally break from the ongoing stresses of the world today and I try to get these in myself.
