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.

Creek. Water is low this time of year, at other times, it's high and rushing.

Another early morning visit from the deer. As I hiked that afternoon, had to pass through three bucks carefully keeping my eye on them as they kept theirs' on me. They were surrounded by does.
