Tiny, the black bear, returns

A bear walked a trail where I have a wildlife camera early this morning. I'm pretty sure that it's Tiny, a regular on this route. More about her tomorrow.
Winter has arrived. Droplets froze onto yellow aspen leaves last night.
The snow that nearly froze me yesterday stuck to the alpine terrain but didn't stick at our elevation. Tomorrow, we're supposed to get our first accumulating snow (5-10"). Indian summer is over.
Here's what a similar view looked like on a recent morning.
Yes, winter is on her way, creeping up behind K in this photo. I think that Tiny was heading for a den, which might be a very smart thing to do with our first winter storm bearing down on us.

    Wow, the ice on the aspen is an amazing shot. However, the last shot with K and the fall leaves glowing below her....Top of the line.

    I can't wait to learn more about Tiny. I hope you have warmed up since your adventure yesterday

    We were close to 80 degrees today! Unreal for MI. Have you got your snow bike ready??

    Love the pics of the leaf with the frozen droplets. Just beautiful.

    Gosh, it really is getting to be winter! Our Mt Hood got snows too.
    We just have falling leaves and some rain... and hunting season (yuck)
    K is so gorgeous... so beautiful in that photo.
    I wonder if Tiny will sleep in the den all by her self (or his self)
    love

    Hi Y'all,

    Playing catch up today after a few days of real life. It just boggles my mind that snow is striking the mountains already. The fact that you are having cold and snow means it is probably heading east.

    Y'all come by now,

    Yes, here it comes! But that is OK with me. Here along the coast it can get cold but never to the extremes in the mountains. Great photos.

    That photo of the water frozen on the Aspen leaf is fascinating! I love it! You always have such great captures, and K is always beautiful!
