Autumn Colors along Prescott's Willow Creek

It's that time of year, when the night time temperatures in the highlands of central Arizona reach freezing.  The green leaves of many trees are changing color and, interestingly, some of the needles on ponderosa pines are turning brown and dropping in their semiannual routine.  Enjoy these several pictures of a quiet morning walk along Willow Creek between Camp Emmanuel Pines and Trail 332, a final homage to many of my 2017 visits to the Prescott area.
