Greetings friend @roleerob, thanks for sharing this wonderful publication with us, honestly, your way of writing made me feel in the place, besides being impressed with the photographs.
Where I live we can not see the four seasons, we only have a rainy period which we call winter, and a dry period which we call summer, to see these pictures of autumn in full splendor is something, it is something impressive for me, to observe kilometers of road and extensions of land where the foliage seems to be about to be extinguished, as if life ended is impressive.
I am not sure if I have read but: How long did you make that trip? How long did it take you from the place of departure to the point of arrival?
Do you continue to do this kind of trips?
Are you fond of driving long distances?
Regards my friend and thanks for taking us there.
Yes, @gerjer ...
... I can imagine it appears far different to you. My only experience with something similar to what you describe is living in southern Arizona, in the Sonora Desert. There we had a long, dry, hot (very) summer and a shorter, dry "cool" summer. The natives of that area liked to call it winter, but ... We knew better! Hahaha ...
Yes, in contrast to southern Arizona, the Rocky Mountain region has four distinct seasons. We enjoy all of them, for various reasons. The changing of fall colors is a very fine experience, before the onset of winter. When the leaves are all gone and cold and snow take their place.
But ...
That season has a stark beauty of its own, in the crystalline white powder on the branches of trees, glistening in the bright sun, with birds still singing in the background. Winter, in turn, gives way to the remarkable renewal of life, with the return of leaves and flowers, and our favorite season - Spring. Where we can experience once again another growing season and our simple life of gardening ...
Thank you for stopping by and letting me know you enjoyed the post. I appreciate your thoughtful contributions to the value of it.
P.S. To preserve my anonymity, I'll leave the other questions unanswered, as is my normal practice. One notable exception is my "Road to Recovery" series (link provided in this post's footer), which provides that type of detail for my "trip of a lifetime" ...
Ok perfect, that's fine with me, thanks for your kind reply, it's good to meet people and be able to make community on this platform.
Greetings, see you next time.
