color hunting in 2018 (2)

We moved! Visit the same post on the new site here:

the high peaks have their first dusting of snow, a satisfying hunt for fall color was the hike into Lundy Canyon the second day. Large stands of yellow aspen cascade down the hillsides, sprawling splashes of color everywhere underneath a blue sky.

     

I was wondering if Actaeas can feel what fall brought us? I know dogs can see blues and yellow but pretty close to a red-green color blind, so theoretically color he sees could be really close to what they are in my eyes? 

    

almost 99% of the people we met assumed Actaeas is a girl, people insisted saying "she" even if I answered their questions with he.

     

we came to a vista point witch you can see a river cutting through this beautiful canyon, trail goes down after, stretches all the way to the waterfall.

                     

    

there were patches of frost, me and Actaeas found ice by the water

we hiked up to the top of this waterfall and the trail turned into a green forest





    


I tried to hike up even more to see what's the end of this trail, but Quentin was bored and claim that there is nothing else to see after waterfall, I took his suggestion to come back down to this pond right below the vista point hiding that I was actually tired, and we found this especially pleasing angle of our prey.

we finished the hike around 3pm, sun burned the sky when we were driving back south

i sat back and watch the sky slowly turned from gold, orange to pink and than swollen by deep purple.
