Autumn 2018 has been an 'unexpected' adventure. Prior to the changing seasons, I try to plan to see different locations and visit them with the time I have available. But as usual, plans are always subject to change based on a variety of factors. The most important factor is weather. Sunny days with bluebird skies is not generally the conditions I enjoy, so sometimes it takes a bit of traveling to get to where the conditions are all coming together. This year I was contemplating a venture into Colorado, especially with the hot, dry conditions that prevailed here in northern Utah for much of the summer.....I thought the season was going to be a bust.

Not so fast! Giving Mother Nature a little time to rest from the previous summer, there happened to be some amazing places that 'unexpectedly' developed and evolved during the first week of October. This picture along highway 89 in Logan Canyon is evidence of one such place. I actually went back into that canyon on 3 different occasions, and each time came home with such a variety of images. I am still learning after all these years that patience is a trait that is developed over time, but what a virtue it is! I also received some great counsel from Sandy that has really made a difference...... "take what it offered and make the best of it."  Very sound advice indeed.
