Light rain and drizzle started yesterday and we awoke to more of the same. About 8:300 this morning it began to be a mix of light snow and rain. I’m okay with the snow but not the cold. At 35 degrees this is not bad.
I had to make a trip to Red Feather Lakes to help a friend. We were not sure what the weather would be like up there as it is 2,000 feet higher but it was not bad. They had maybe 2 inches of snow. After we unloaded the car we took a walk along the dam at Apache Lake in the snowfall. We found this dedicated fisherman, in waders and knee deep in the water, oblivious to the snow. I have a feeling he was rather content because he was dressed for the weather and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Lovely image, Monte. Though we have no snow, nor frigid temps here, we have started the gradual decent (ascent?) into fall. It’s crisp mornings and cool evenings now and I love it. Autumn has always been my favorite season and here in San Diego it’s a welcome relief when the sun warms rather than bakes.

I can understand the cool mornings and the relief as my parents live in Phoenix. Wonderful winters but the summers are HOT. We get a reprieve tomorrow with a high of 55 but will be in the teens on Sunday night. Brrr!

Fishermen are a lot like golfers in the extent to which they will go to overcome inclement weather. A golfer friend of mine jokes that he only has to change his grip a little when wearing gloves. I suppose that might also apply to certain photographers, too! 😉
