Mount Crested Butte in the fall
Crested Butte is a pretty picturesque place. And, September is one of the most picturesque months here. Wherever I am I find myself grabbing my camera or my phone to capture yet another beautiful moment. Here’s some fall stoke, with a poem by Carl Sandberg.

Autumn Movement

Carl Sandburg (1918)
fall in Crested Butte

I cried over beautiful things knowing no beautiful thing lasts.

The field of cornflower yellow is a scarf at the neck of the copper sunburned woman,
fall in Crested Butte

the mother of the year, the taker of seeds.

The northwest wind comes and the yellow is torn full of holes,

new beautiful things come in the first spit of snow on the northwest wind,

and the old things go, not one lasts.

  • I’ve been waiting for those pictures from your area covered in the stunning colors of fall – you haven’t let us down! They are great just like all the previous falls since I started visiting your blog some couple of years ago. Thanks. Need to prepare before you start posting a lot of shades of the white powder again ๐Ÿ˜‰
