Late October in Basye

We used to live in Basye, specifically in Bryce Resort. It’s beautiful there in the mountains, but not convenient if you have doctor appointments in winter weather. I remember wondering if we were going to make it home on the icy roads!

On a nice day like today, it’s a pleasant drive. The golf course looked green, as usual.


I saw this character at a shop called Smiley’s, and used portrait mode to take his picture. (More below.)


I drove to the other side of Lake Laura to take pictures from the boat ramp.






Here’s a regular snapshot of the pirate character at Smiley’s. I think he sailed in for Halloween.

  4. The older we get, the more ready access to a doctor becomes an important consideration.

  6. I chose the current town I live in rather than being neighbor to my son for the closeness to medical treatment options. Such is the choices of age! Loved your scenes, as always.

  8. The scenery out there is stunning, especially this time of the year, stunning at any time of the year. That’s quite a character who sailed in.
