Hope Valley - south Lake Tahoe

The falling leaves drift by my window
These autumn leaves of red and gold....
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sunburned hands, I used to hold
Since you went away, the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song.
But I miss you most of all my darling,
When autumn leaves begin to fall.

Johnny Mercer, lyrics, Autumn Leaves

Hope Valley - south Lake Tahoe

Vào giữa tháng mười hằng năm Mùa Thu ở đây rất thơ mộng.

The colors are vivid – and the air temperature is frigid on

typical fall mornings in the Hope Valley, near the junction of

 Highways 88 and 89. The light in early morning and

late afternoon brings out the color in the aspens and other trees

in the area. Leaves look their best – and the sky is bluest
