Enjoying the Beginning of Mountain Autumn Hues

A couple days ago I went up the mountain.

Autumn colors are beginning to spring forth, creating a bridge between Summer and Winter.  Sometimes it seems this season, filled with chilly nights and warm scents, doesn't last long enough.  If only Spring and Autumn demanded from us the same amount of time Summer and Winter does.  Those last two can be a little loud.

Provo Canyon Rd. has some construction causing double lanes to narrow to single.  Cars bunching up as a result.  If you're in a hurry this could be annoying, but I found it quite nice.  Instead of racing up to Deer Creek we were allowed to enjoy the scenery.  With windows down and a warm breeze tussling my hair, it was nice slowing down to take in waterfalls and magnificent rocks.  Mountain foliage is starting to turn from woody light greens to splashes of fruity bright hues.  Hopefully the turning of colors will last many weeks for all to enjoy.
