Last Friday, I hiked along Crow Creek (near Townsend)
with a friend. We were a week or two
late for the full blush of colors. Most
of the trees had already shed their kaleidoscope of leaves. We walked on through basketworks of bare
trees and warm autumn sunshine. Only a
few of the trees and bushes near the creek were still displaying color. The creek flounced and purred alongside the
stony trail and grouse scattered away across the grass and thimbleberry understory
as we approached them.
This was likely the last fully warm hike of the year. On we go now…on to frost mornings and the full
chill of winter. On to starry Orion
standing atop my house on cloudless nights.
Posted today are a couple of photographs from the
trek along Crow Creek.
