"Termination Dust"

That first morning when you can see the tops of the mountains, and there's snow where there was no snow up there yesterday... In this case, a dusting on top of Mount Stroller-White, above about 4000 feet.

Summer is over. Whatever didn't get hiked, probably will have to wait 'til next year. Or, will have to be slogged on snowshoes. Crap.

The days grow shorter, ever quicker, exaggerated by the high latitude. The nights grow colder, the grass wet and chilly while walking the dogs before work.

Time to make the most of what's left of the outdoors, before every outing becomes an expedition. Still and all, it is beautiful. Just less warm.
