Rain!

It rained last night!  We received a little over an inch of rain...not a drought breaker, but it's all important.  The ski resorts received a couple of inches of snow, probably not enough to last through the Thanksgiving weekend, but they've been making snow so the runs are good. 

The colors are always intensified after rain, and I think a cloudy day makes them even more brilliant.

Everything got a good washing. 

It was lovely walking through the damp, cool air today.  Even the fallen leaves and pine needles had extra color.

On the north side of the mountains the clouds were chasing each other. 

On the south side of the mountains the sun was peeking through. 

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny, drat it.  The clouds never stay long enough these days...
