Stunning!

This picture was taken by a Big Lake Family Member. I find it fitting for today's post.

Summer is coming to an end. Fall is right around the corner. If you come up this week you will see so many flowers. More than I have ever seen before. They literally blanket the forest floor. Especially the drive to Eagar on 261.

After a week or so, fall will begin to emerge, from a years sleep. Flowers will start to die off and temps will begin to feel the air with crisp smells. The elk will begin to gather their cows. The trees will start painting on vibrant colors. Fall has a way of reminding us that every season has a purpose. Embrace it!
