Fall on a Cloudy Day

The old boy took a day off of grinnin' down bears, so we took a drive 

 Suddenly in the midst of brown and sage mountains, there appeared a blast of color

 The area is called Cove Creek-- it's the creek that provides this gorgeous color

 But also is a well known bear sighting area ( a fact unbeknownst to the old boy when he hiked it the next day)

 The road is pretty rough

 Fortunately the old boy knows how to read a map. Last time we were in the area we ended up having to literally back down a mountain since there were no turnarounds.

 Really pretty stream bed.  Not bad for a drizzly cloudy day!

 My mother in law always told me: "Just add a pop of red" So here we go!
