On a memorable camping excursion in the eastern Sierra, we awoke to see the mountains illuminated by clearing storm light and adorned with a fresh layer of #snow. While I came for the fall color, I was most inspired by this ephemeral #atmosphere.

Same here, as this photo is from late September. The fall migration was so fun this year!

I was just glad this one worked out, almost every other photo had the dreaded heat haze.

A quiet and windy morning didn’t allow for much birding. I did see a lot of male Wood Ducks this morning and got a nice shot of one for the first time since spring.
