Oct. 3, 2023. 7:30am. — The previous two days had been nearly steady rain. The overnight weather forecast had predicted snow down to 9000 ft. so we got up early and drove to this location on County Rd 5 that we had scouted out the day before. Hoping for fresh snow on the peaks the Good Lord didn’t disappoint us. The higher mountains were wearing a new coat of fresh powder snow. A dusting of snow remains on the evergreen trees near the tree line. Thankfully, it had not gotten too cold which would have caused the scrub oaks and Aspens to turn brown. As we were shooting we could hear an Elk bugle in the valley below us. As I was editing the photo I found him standing looking up towards me as if to say “I see you!”.
