Even though the raindrops kept falling in Fernie, I think the weather was on my side. The moisture made the colors of fall more brilliant. I went on a little driving tour to visit the creek that runs alongside HWY3. The colors were amazing. Red dogwood, various tones of green moss, yellow larch and aspens made for some memorable scenery. This is Alexander Creek. It was running swiftly due to the rain. What a joy it was to enjoy the sound of the running water, the fresh mountain air and the autumn foliage.
