Mostly lodge pole pine in my area so there isn't much in the way of color but you see a lot of mist.

So many wonderful sights the past two weeks to choose from. Hard to pick just one photo to submit. How about this one?

didn't take the time for too many pics this year - but this scene made me stop and pull out the cell...

I've used this picture as my desktop background for quite a while. Easy to just stare off at it.

Wow, some absolutely awesome photos this month folks! The member voting is complete and the winner of the September 2016 WT Photo of the Month Contest is Charina/photo #4. I'll get a few prize goodies in the mail soon. As always, thanks to all for submitting photos and voting. RJ

Thanks RJ and everyone that voted. It's proof that a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while. Or that an artistically blind hunter can stumble across a nice scene and recognize it as such once in a while.

The aspen clones in that area were dropping their leaves sooner than surrounding clones. 100-200 yards in any direction and most aspens were still mostly-green with sprinkles of gold.
