Our big back yard

These pictures are the views of the mountains surrounding our little community here in Midway.  This year the fall colors are a bit muted...however, the beauty of the valley is still spectacular.   















This pic of the Aspen trees is from Snake Creek Canyon.  The air is crisp, the colors are bright and the "woodsy smell" is strong.  Fall is a wonderful time to enjoy the out of doors.



















Here we are "Roman" around the woods. You can see from our hair that perhaps we should get back in the car behind the tinted glass. 













Grandpa and Roman are headed for the Nitro.  Roman has a quick step, so I was hustling to keep up!



















It is almost dark now in the canyon and this pic of the maple leaves gives an idea of the colors on one tree changing from the green on the left to the red in the middle and the yellow on the right edge.   I think we even put a few of these in a small bag that ended up in Houston.
