Colorado Autumn 2010
In Colorado, the seasonal change from autumn to winter comes fast.
On the first day I went out hiking to capture some of the brilliant colors, a storm came in, raining at the altitude I was, and snowing a bit higher on the mountain. The next day, I was able to acquire more photos as it was both a sunny and cloudy day, with about half the time the sun breaking through the clouds.
In my photos, you'll see aspen, blue spruce, pine, scrub oak and other trees.
I feel the changes of the season just as I view them.
Happy to share some of the heaven of Colorado I live in with my friends through these photographs.
