End of Summer Trees
I spent a little time in Pueblo last weekend watching my son play tennis. Pueblo is only an hour south of our house, but it's almost 3,000 feet lower in elevation (specifically 2,840 feet or 865 meters lower), and this can make quite a difference in the weather. It was still summer-like with temperatures above 80 F (27 C), and the trees hadn't yet started to turn. So here are a few skyward-looking photos from that trip - I particularly liked the shape of the third tree.
For more skyward photos, visit Skywatch Friday.

Ciao Al, the good giants of this world who play beautifully with the sun!
Really cool shots...I LOVE the last one!
Beautiful! Love this upward view. Marvelous light on those trees, and that last shot is a beauty.
Great shots...I too find the 3 rd one as my favorite...great textures on the tree bark.
an enoying your change of seasons series of photos, the color and light and capturing the mood
Very nice photos. I really like that 3rd one as well! Beautiful "sky" captures. :)
Beautiful blue sky. And I like the pictures of the trees makes for an interesting picture.
Beautiful shots!
Sky shots at my end, please come and see.
I know what you mean about visiting what seems to be a different climate, yet so close to home. When we lived in New Hampshire and traveled to see family in Connecticut, it was always like going back to earlier in the winter, or later in the spring.
La 3° foto mi piace molto !
Ciao Myriam :)
Beautiful blue skies!
Mmmm, lovely!
Nice viewpoint.
Very pleasing images of leaves against the sky.
Beautiful pictures Al. So winter is coming fast in your neck of the woods. Fall has started here and it has been rather cold too. have a good weekend
your images are so relaxing. i'm ready to tackle the second 4 hour of my shift.
A contrast in land and temperature between your place and this place I see! Lovely photos of the trees and the sky! And my favourite, too- the third tree. It nearly looks like the three has got tree trunks, or - that here are three trees standing closed to each other.. :)
Gorgeous. Beautiful captured. Love all your photos.
This may be the end of this tree but it still looks majestic against the blue skies.
The light on that third tree plus its shape make for a great composition, Al! The detail is also amazing.
Beautiful trees!
I do see a tiny bit of golden autumn color in the last photo!
*happy weekend*

beautiful Al!!!
Someone has taken a ruler to that third group of trees.
Must have been a strange feeling to dip back into summer for an afternoon.
I especially loved the textures you caught in that last photo. I got goosebumps. It fills my eyes.
Gorgeous photos, Al!
Love trees.
