Autumn is always a good time for photographs! Love the gold, red and orange colors.

Overcast with a good wind and mid 60's temperatures.  Saw a white tail doe right off the bat but no other large wild life.  Lots of birds including some black throated sparrows. 

There were some mountain bikers enjoying the trails - a ll encounters were pleasant and civil.  I was surprised there weren't more folks on the trails but I am not complaining.

NOTES
