It's been on the cold side for September. Snow on the mountains and even on the valley floors for a day or so. The leaves are just starting to turn but it's felt like late October. Elk are bugling and sand hill cranes are on their annual migration south making their pre-historic garble as they circle at great heights and barley stubble and cheat grass and even rabbitbrush have taken on their yellow hues while smoke bellows out of a two-room house chimney along a ditch somewhere in Mackay, Idaho.

Sun Valley Early Fall Snow
We have been in the midst of a lot of weather since the beginning of September and immediately after our fires.

Here are a few images taken over the last few days.

I am still adding to my galleries and this one above just made the cut. It was taken early last fall and like many others didn't grab my attention when I originally uploaded it from my camera...
While the image above makes me think of warm summer nights, today was a real blast of spring with highs around 46! More precipitation forecast for tomorrow and tomorrow night. We'll see...
