Our 30% chance of rain/snow for this afternoon was mostly sunny skies. 🙂 So with scattered gray skies I grabbed my camera stuff and headed for the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge. I didn’t get very far before I remembered they’re closed on Mondays. So, being the resourceful guy I am, my alternate plan was to make a u-turn and drive east about five miles on a road I’d never been on. As all alternate plans go, I found a river bottom area with plenty of trees and an autumn moon. A few deer in the field behind me watched with approval as I setup my tripod and started working. I didn’t work too long as it felt colder than 34 degree with the wind blowing. By the time I got back in the car my hands and ears were cold. Another reminder my age is moving me more towards being a fair weather photographer.
