A view of the lower section of Glacier Park's Swiftcurrent Falls taken on a cloudy autumn day. This channel really roars with a torrent of water earlier in the year, slow flow now. I also liked the autumn colors and varied textures around it. Heavy rain soon arrived.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Glacier's McDonald creek with it's pretty glacial waters flows thru some fall foliage on it's way to the lake. Autumn is here.


There are 2 ways to measure seasons, meteorological and astronomical. Primary difference is the day they begin and end.

Meteorologists group seasons into three-month periods that line up with temperatures changes and the calendar. December - February is winter, March-May is spring, June - August is summer, and September - November is fall.

Astronomical seasons are based on the position of Earth in relation to the sun while the meteorological seasons are based on the annual temperature cycle. The beginning of Astronomical Spring or the Vernal Equinox marks the time when the sun passes directly above the equator.

So we are in Autumn now (in my opinion). Winter starting on December 21st was always late, we were well into harsh chilly weather by then frequently with lots of snow on the ground. And spring is generally starting to pop before March 20th.

Just in case you were curious..

Have a fabulous Fall week!

No, not really. This is my little shadow Teddy's "come get me look." He isn't a big fan of snow. He's got me pretty well trained. Wouldn't have it any other way. He didn't have to wait long.

Teddy is a wonderful camping companion, including last summer's long trip to Alaska. We had a blast. Teddy is a delight and blessing we cherish everyday.

More cuteness in comments.

Thanks for your visit. Always appreciated.

A storm brews over Grinnell Point, Swiftcurrent Lake and Swiftcurrent Falls on a windy autumn day.

The Many Glacier Hotel is to the left. Some construction was going on to update the bridge.

Grinnell Point is a subpeak of Mount Grinnell, which lies .21 mi (0.34 km) to the west-southwest and is oftentimes misidentified as Mount Grinnell since that summit cannot be seen from the roads in the Many Glacier region. Grinnell Point is named for George Bird Grinnell, an early American conservationist and explorer, who was also a strong advocate of ensuring the creation of Glacier National Park.

Thanks for taking a look!
