Signs of the Season
Red and orange leaves, a snappy chill in the air, morning frost on the ground. These were the classic signs of autumn where I grew up in Upstate New York. It was and still is my favorite season. Golden grass waving in the wind, blazing in contrast against a deep blue sky. This is my image of late summer and early autumn in the rolling hills of Northern California. Rains in late autumn will turn the hills green again. Hopefully most of us love the manifestations of the seasons on our home turf, whatever that may look like. The featured hike from the archives is Loma Alta-Smith Ridge, a hike that involves a fair amount of climbing with a payoff of 360 degree panoramic views, and the beautiful contrast of gold against blue in the dry season. If we’re lucky, we can fall in love with the varying traits of the seasons in multiple locations. Keep putting one foot forward! Check the Home page for the broader background story.
