While the foot of snow we received in mid-October melted quickly and we went back to Indian Summer, much of the color that was in the trees and brush around the pond ending up decorating the pond surface instead.

The best fall weather and color here in years was interrupted briefly the middle of October by a foot of snow. It’s quite typical to get snow in October in this area but to get a foot during the first snow of the season is. But it was short lived and we quickly went back to warm weather and bright colors.

This photo was taken pretty much at the peak of the fall color around our house.

These orderly groups of corral panels spread out across the prairie reminded me of a similar but more elegant and purposeful sculpture garden here in Montana, that at Tippet Rise.

Framed in my camera’s viewfinder, this random smear of goop of some kind on the highly textured, rusted steel side of a corral panel formed a pleasing (to me anyway) expressionist abstract composition.

It takes a pretty hefty structure to secure a wild bison. These panels stand maybe eight feet high and are made of heavy steel.
