Snowy Range Tarn - a photo on Flickriver

Snowy Range Tarn

            The western group of the Snowy Range catches afternoon light and reflects in a high-elevation tarn, Medicine Bow Mountains, Wyoming. Medicine Bow Peak (12,018 ft; 3,663 m) is the highest point in the range and sits on the left in the photo. As there was absolutely nobody around and the air temperature was decently warm, I dared my two boys to strip off their clothes and jump into the icy water with me. After I plunged in and then struggled for breath as I made my way back to shore, only my youngest son took me up on the idea. The first thing he said after his head bobbed back above the surface was, “Help!” I extended a hand and pulled him safely back onto the warm rocks so he could dry off.

Today marks the first autumn snow where I live in Boulder, Colorado. As fresh-pressed cider ferments in the basement and leaves begin to drop, the summer feels increasingly distant. 

Thanks for the comments and for stopping by!
