Here's a nice shot of the Flying Scotsman at dusk. You can just barely see the palm tree which is mounted in the picnic table in the lower left of the picture. Beautiful evening but still very warm ... 60's at night and 80's for the day.

 

 

 

And just to the left above our flag is the first hint of autumn as the poplars and aspens start to turn yellow/orange.

 

 

 

With the silver maples being one of the first to show the fall plumage as well. Our trip home should be really colorful this year as we are planning on departing around the 10th of October; just after the Canadian Thanksgiving.

 

 

 

Then a reminder that the change of weather may mean storms as we had a pretty powerful thunderstorm cell hit. This is pea sized hail and in the bus it sounds like being in a steel drum being pounded on with a hammer.

 

We held our breath as the hail increased in size and the winds peaked at about 40 MPH and then broke off ... whew! No damage to report but it was exciting.
