#32 Summer's Gone at 8400ft

Well, not that the FOB Party for 2009
is officially in the history books and
Labor Day has come & gone and the
Museum has closed it's doors for the
Winter season until next Spring...

There's also a chill in the air that
tells us that Fall is soon approaching
and that the aspens below us will be
changing soon. That means that the
Fall photogs will be dotting the hillsides
soon and shortly after them the
chill & snows of winter will be here.
We have been told there is an El Nino
coming this year so it will be interesting
to see if we receive more snow than normal.
I know they could sure use it below over
in Mono Lake and the entire Eastern Sierra
and all of CA for that matter....

Also, within the next week or so we will
be hearing the results of the CA State Budget
decisions and which State Parks will be closing
due to the cut backs. We wish them all Luck
to our Brother/Sister parks.

Here's a little last look at Summer and
some blooms on the bushes that are
long gone by now...
