ate September 2019, just as
the first bits of real color began
to appear along the creek and
river bottoms in Sheridan County,
an unseasonably cold weather front
pushed through the area plunging
temperatures to nearly 0 degrees killing
the remaining leaves. Our season of
fall colors was over before it began.
Fast-forward to 2020 and the memory
of that cold snap spurred me to spend
every moment I could out and about
as some of the best fall colors I've
seen began to flame across the region.
Oct. 10 found me driving backroads
photographing those amazing colors
when I crossed over a bridge along
the Tongue River north of Sheridan. My
eye instantly caught this scene, drawn
by the golden glow, the shimmering
leaves and the remarkable reflection
on still, green water. I pulled my vehicle
close to the fence and climbed onto
the roof to capture this scene without
trespassing. That night, a storm
descended upon northern Wyoming
with 40-60 mph winds. When it finally
blew itself out two days later, the storm
had stripped the county of color, leaving
only photographs like this as testament
to the glorious, albeit short, season of
color we were blessed to experience.
