A Morning, Well-spent, in Bishop

Drive around your town, as Gigi deJong did this morning in Bishop, and you’ll find trees full of color poking out from above rooftops and gathering in front yards, like neighbors catching up on the latest gossip.  

“Did you hear a storm is coming?” “No! Really?”

“Yup. It’s supposed to last through the weekend.”

Then, Gigi drove slowly along West Line St. – the route you take to get to Bishop Creek Canyon – and found an assortment of fall colors. “Just beautiful,” she wrote.

“Izaak Walton Park is lovely any time of day,” she commented, “and the ‘mini’ forest on the corner at Reata Road has a wonderful radiance.”

Gigi turned toward the Eastern Sierra to see a dark sky descending over the snow-capped range. It added drama to her morning well-spent discovering fall color in Bishop.
