Autumn in the high Sierras

I get glimpses of this view from my balcony every day ........ so I had to go up there several times to see if it is just as gorgeous when standing right there on the grass... or amoungst the sage. yup. It is even better up there. A couple of folks live up there on the mountainside.... what a view. After driving up and taking lots of fotos I wanted to go back and do some plein air painting... but it got too cold right after that. This week it will warm up to the high 60's (so says the weather service on line) ... maybe I can get out for some plein air painting this week..... I can always hope :-)
