AUTUMN COLORS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND JAKE'S PHOTOS

Most of these are taken either around where I live or a bit up the mountain in Blue Jay - still not as high an altitude as Big Bear which I hope to get to soon while  the colors are still on the trees and not on the ground.  Being at about 7000 feet Big Bear will have a lot more color going on.

Here are just a few from my area and I plan to get out every day to see more and more.    Is your area showing their colors yet?















I'll be posting fall colors every day until I run out of color and the snow comes.  (that is - when and if we get any - who know with the drought we are in what will happen).

and have to share my grandson Jake's first day of pre K - his official school pic - anybody who has been a blogger friend for years might remember i babysat him and Mac quite a bit when their mom worked - and we lived with them for a year after we sold the house - they then moved to Bend and we moved to the mountains.  I miss them so much.

However, i got to spend time with Holly and Holden - two more grandkids up in San Francisco this last week and i'll be posting pics on my blog later.

Tiger face at Knotts.



the one below was when we lived with them.




He and I in Bend - two years ago this month when we made our first trip up after they moved. 



and how he has grown up - !  Looks just like my son did at that age.

thanks Tessa - re; hair - that photo is about 2 1/2 years old - i wear it somewhat shorter now - thanks for the compliment. I've always had "issues" about my hair - want to wear it short, don't want to cut it, too thick and hot, etc etc etc.
