The Colors of Autumn

A couple weeks ago we headed south a little ways to attend the baptism of a friend's son. It was a very special occasion, and we were grateful we could be present. Afterward, based on a suggestion from my parents, we decided to drive up the nearby Nebo Loop a ways to enjoy the fall colors. We were so glad we did! The autumn colors were stunning, and we thoroughly enjoyed taking in all the beauty. We ended up staying longer than we intended, but we didn't regret late return home and subsequent late dinner. It was completely worth it.



We decided to stroll up the short Grotto Trail to the little waterfall. The golden light streaming through the trees along the way made the trail warm and inviting.







In fact, it was a nearly perfect Indian summer day. We were enjoying it so much that we decided to continue on to Payson Lakes.



We had the area nearly to ourselves when we arrived. The lighting was ideal, and the brilliant colors of the aspens reflected in the water alluringly.





We skipped some rocks and drank in all the serene beauty we found there.
