Another Look Back 2012-2014, and Conway Summit's Aspen Progressing Thru Fall 2014

It was an off day yesterday, Friday October 24, and I was planning on just relaxing and reading my Kindle (being a student of history, I'm currently reading "Rebel Yell: The Violence, Passion and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson" , HIGHLY recommended) but I felt I needed to accomplish SOMEthing -- so I got the Kenmore canister vacuum cleaner out of the back of my Tundra, and gave the trailer and Tundra a good cleaning -- way overdue. The wind picked up in the afternoon here in Bishop, so I stayed at the RV park -- hence the retrospective for today's blog installment. More wind is forecast for today the 26th, but I'll probably venture out and do a final check on fall colors and perhaps a dayhike...

Oct 2012 --Tundra and Discovery with a cloud-shrouded eastern Sierra 

Oct 2013 -- Road to Lake Sabrina in early-season snowstorm

Oct 2013 -- Mist Falls, and at-peak aspen, and snow

Oct 2013 -- Along South Fork Bishop Creek

Oct 2013 -- At Willows Campground

Oct 2013 -- Aspen stand along Lundy Creek

Oct 12 2013 -- Lundy Canyon and Lake

September 2014 -- Virgina Lakes looking east from pass

October 2014 -- Rock Creek Lake

And as I've taken quite a few photos of the same area in the span of a single fall season, I thought it would be interesting to see the progression of one spot over a period of about a month, so here is the "aspen hillside" just north of Conway Summit, along Hwy 395, through the weeks of September and October, 2014 -- 

And a 6-photo panorama taken on Oct 15, 2014 at the height of the aspen colors

And now it's time to get ready for another day of adventure, which I'll report here on tomorrow's blog...
