I drove up a scary mountain dirt track and picnicked in the snow to bring you these, so I hope you appreciate them!

Lockett Meadow, 10,000ft up in the caldera

The aspen leaves looked like shimmering gold foil

Sometimes green was the rarest colour

A film crew were going to take this too, but decided to shoot elsewhere instead and come back before the light went. They didn't make it in time!

First I went to see a ballet and hear mr alan bean who is a astronaut from outer space he went on the moon but wen he got there he found out 3 other people had been there first and i sat next to a nice lady called mara who teaches english licherture at NAU and studies fay weldon wot used to live near where i used to live in england and then the next day i runned a 10 kilogram race and came second in my age but it was really really hard cos it kept going uphill all the time and never went downhill again honest and my shoes got muddy but it wasnt my fault neither and then i went to the park but did not play on the swings just some science things and talked to some boys about their robots and then i went to bed and got up again and went and sat under a tree in the park in the sunshine and then went to look at jupiter which is a long way away so you need a tellyscope but that’s ok cos they got one of those up at the lowell observatory so after i talked to some nice ladies from maryland for ages they let me look in it but i didn’t see mr alan bean through it
