Summer is winding down to its final days, and as usual I already have snow and ski season on the brain. We got our first snow in Tahoe this week, and I dug into the archives to find this image of some early snow in the Eastern Sierras. Winter is coming and the mountains are calling!

Officially Fall
Well, that’s it. Fall is here. The weather doesn’t feel like it yet, but these trees in the Eastern Sierra are on full display for the changing of the season.
Leaves in the Sun
The colors in the sky were great, but I wasn’t in a good spot to get a classic sunset photo. After getting over that disappointment, I found something better and decided to shoot these leaves that weren’t ready to fall off the tree and were a great way to add some silhouettes to the sunset.
California Fall
I always say I miss the seasons here in California as we don’t get the same intensity of trees changing color as I’m used to. This time I didn’t have to go too far to find a taste of fall, a few trees in the Santa Cruz Mountains were participating in the fall season.
Carson Peak
Carson peak rises above Silver Lake with just a dusting of snow. I was lucky enough to get an early storm a few days before my trip to see the fall colors, and it made the wait for the sun to rise above the mountains worth it.
Aspens
The fall colors are winding down but I’m not done just yet. These Eastern Sierra aspens were a nice mix of yellows and greens and bright sunlight shining through!
Drive into the Light
Just before sunset, the aspens on Monitor Pass lit up the most brilliant yellow I have ever seen.
Eastern Sierra Fall
My first fall trip to the Eastern Sierra Nevada in fall was a great success. The leaves were in full color and the weather was fantastic. One large tree standing above the rest got my attention. I’m an engineer, and I solved the problem of the sun being in my face by creating a sun star.
Northeast Late Fall
I really wanted to know what was in that shed, but I decided to heed the warning on the door.
