...has begun in earnest and we've been in "peak color" stage for over a week now.

This time of year I enjoy displaying seasonally colorful and well-composed photos on my desktop such as the type that genrxr was recently kind enough to share with us.

Every now and then I come across a real "stunner" as I did in my browsing today. Here's a resized version but be sure to click and check out the hi-res...

All I got was the "infamous" red X, #1............even tried the "right click, properties, copy and paste bit. Then I got a "Failed to connect to web server" message.

Just my lousy provider, I guess. I live out here in the boonies, and satellite is the only option for broadband, but occasionally its not much better than dial-up.

About 5 years ago, we took the grandaughters along with us on vacation to yellowstone. Stopped in on Jackson Hole while there and took the tram to the top to see the sights. Still quite a bit of snow there on the tops in July. The girls had a ball playing in the snow and making and throwing snowballs.
