Red Rabbit Report post Posted September 14, 2015 Labor Day weekend was the opening of blue grouse in Arizona. Rica and I went to the north Kaibab. Saturday was real windy and 3 historically productive spots produced nothing except one moment of birdiness. After a few days in Grand Canyon National Park, a return to another favorite spot produced nothing but a nice walk. Fortunately, the shooting of landscapes was much better.Back in the SaddleSunset at the head of the Nankoweap TrailRoyal StormA thunder and hailstorm approaches Cape Royal.Wotan's FuryAt this point, I decided it was best to leave the exposed point and hustle back to the truck.Royal RiseSunrise on Labor Day provided nice skies and purple/magenta tones.The elk are beginning to bugle and a photo trip for fall aspen colors in southwest Colorado is only two weeks away. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Rabbit Report post Posted September 14, 2015 Great job Doug. Always enjoy your posts. Hope Colorado will be good. Going to the normal places I suppose? We were going to head up but just too much going on... Thanks. Yes, will concentrate around Ridgeway. I've been reading about how the moisture this year has produced a fungus that is affecting the leaves closer to Denver. I have not heard much about southwest CO yet.

I have not heard much about southwest CO yet.It seems like with the moisture, if that is true, it will affect the fall. I know we always hope for a bunch of moisture in the summer for the flower bloom. Catch 22 eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
