See that reflection on the surface of the lake? See the big 'eye' in the sky over Mt. Tallac? It's a September full moon, the last full moon of summer, 2014. The days are still warm, but shorter. The clouds high, white, puffy, if smaller than midsummers' monster cumulus.
The ponderosa pines are sporting some brown fringes as needles beg for moisture, while the grey squirrels roll their cones into hiding. This year's crop of sugar pine cones are thundering down all over Sugar Pine Park, creating hazards for a few hikers and providing sustenance to the ground forces.
Homoturisticus has all but disappeared, descending the mountains for his flatland habitat. Peace and quiet are left in his wake.
Autumn, in 2 weeks, will be official.
