Absolutely beautiful pictures Skipper - and great camera work too.   As one who grew up on a ranch in the high Rockies and is now disposed on the Mojave Desert, I especially appreciate seeing the water and trees that actually change colors.   Can almost smell the smell.   :wink:  
Living in a place with an endless summer does have its draw-backs.   Your pics makes me want to whet a trout line real bad.
