The aspens are beginning to change color with the passing of summer into falls. The foot mountains of the Tetons are slowly turning gold as the days become shorter and cooler. Soon the golden leaves will begin to fall as snow falls on the high peaks. The air has that crisp, cool tang of autumn as I wonder through the woods with my two dogs.
