By the calendar, it’s autumn and the leaves are certainly beginning to show some fall color. But green is still the dominant color, at least in most places I’ve been so far with peak autumn color probably still at least a week or more away. The willows, as seen above, are showing nice color, though there’s still a lot green even in the willows. Since the color isn’t there yet, I’ve been searching unsuccessfully for a nice bull elk or moose. I did come across a few cow moose though, including this one with a calf. While I could have used a longer telephoto lens to photograph these two and them them appear much closer (larger in the frame), the scene was just too nice not to include the background mountains as well.
