It’s coming!

September 7th and the leaves are already starting to change. October 1st is the opening day of muzzle loading deer season. I’m ready, how about you?

Beautiful! Where are you hunting?

I'm ready, too! Jemez Mountains, New Mexico, October 2nd.

113° here in Vegas today and the desert is still brown like the other 364 days of the year.

God I miss the East!

"leaves are already starting to change."

Yep ours are turning yellow and falling off the trees. I's called heat and drought.

The pecan trees have gone to the water stage. The trees are cutting off the water to the pecans to save it self.

Fall is definitely here in north Texas. Was only 94 today, a monster cold front coming thru tomorrow pm. Gonna be in the 50s Wednesday.
Deer gun season starts first Saturday in November.

Reminds me of a joke I saw on a Colorado post card years ago;
Welcome to colorful Colorado, all 410 shares of brown........

When the wife and I first came out from Virginia to the southwest high desert our first thought was oh my God, how stark! How moon like! Within a year we had fallen in love with the desert. Guess some fall in love with it and others never do.

I always hate to see it, winter puts an end to my time to "get things done." However, it's nice with less heat and less humidity.

Hunting for me is very difficult. When I look out my back window I just can't decide which one to shoot.

That's why you invest in a cannon with canister rounds. Fill your tag for the next 5 years. LOL

You can keep it! I’ll take the trees, fall leaves, 4 seasons, and rivers and lakes. Uncle Sam has other plans for me though LOL! Hey, beats the OTHER desert Uncle Sam likes to send us these days. That’s a REAL wasteland!!

My son and I did a high-speed run to D.C. to pick up his Ducati. I must have been in your back yard- we saw a herd like this somewhere in VA. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

I'm in New Mexico now, we have all the four seasons, the trees, rivers and lakes. Mostly in the mountains and down here in the Rio Grande Rift Valley.

Colors usually dont start here for another few weeks, cant tell if they are changing or dying. Sad! hellasicous drought for my area. No winter and now no monsoon.

I live in the Mojave. Trust me, it’s worse than where you are and I’d love to be there.

The colors on the mountain had started to change near my house. Now This is the new colors I saw from my front yard this afternoon here in Utah. It was to close for me. 1/2 acre to over a 1000 in less than two hours

It was 90° Today. Now at 1am 63° and raining supposed to be 41° By 8am.
I pray that the rain an cooler temp will help the fire fighters get control of the flames. Be safe and smart with all things that could start a wildfire!

New Hampshire. Been dry here as well and we do need rain. The picture of the trees are is a marsh so an early fall? Maybe?? The wagon is my old 2002 Chevy Z-71 Tahoe. A beast of a vehicle with almost 300K miles on it. Wife won’t ride in it and the grandkids love it. Nuff said!
