Looking forward to some backcountry fishing next week. Every autumn, the east side of the Sierra Nevada glows with yellow and gold colored aspen groves.

These colors of the changing season come in early October at the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada.

On a morning walk / hike through one of the Eastern Sierras numerous aspen groves, I came across a group of young aspen trees taking root just beyond a much larger group of mature trees. In kind of a gesture by these mature trees, they seemed to say... "Look over here... these are our youngsters." And they seemed to say it in that "proud-parent-kind-of-way" ;)

A blazing bright moon rested for just a moment on the edge of a peak in the Sierras.
