The last couple of days have been kind of gloomy and cold. I think I must take after my mother in at least one respect, and that is that my mood is very much influenced by the weather. I recall many times, on cold, wintery, overcast days, hearing my mother say that she was feeling "blue". (Since my favorite color is blue, and clear skies are blue, I think it would be more appropriate to say you are feeling "gray"!) In any case, I have been trying to hold on to Autumn by taking photos of bright and cheery scenes. A week ago this tree was resplendent in it's Autumn colors. It will soon be bare.
For a few hours today the storm that we had been experiencing passed to the east over the Uintah Mountain and the sun came out. I decided to drive over to Farmington Bay to the Wild Bird Reserve to see what was happening. Except for some really muddy roads, not much was going on..I saw only two types of birds: A few ever-present seagulls, and ducks, and ducks, and ducks. (more on that later.) I thought the sun breaking though the clouds as the storm passed over Farmington was quite pretty, and the sun was shining where I was, on the west side of the Bay.
