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.
Gorgeous! And I love the third one! And what a difference that nearly 3000 feet can make!! Does look like summertime there! Looks like a fun day! Have a great evening, Al!

ReplyDeleteGreat shots...I too find the 3 rd one as my favorite...great textures on the tree bark.
ReplyDeletean enoying your change of seasons series of photos, the color and light and capturing the mood

ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue sky. And I like the pictures of the trees makes for an interesting picture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteSky 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.
ReplyDeleteLa 3° foto mi piace molto !
ReplyDeleteCiao Myriam :)
Beautiful blue skies!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, lovely!
ReplyDeleteNice viewpoint.
ReplyDeleteVery 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
ReplyDeleteyour images are so relaxing. i'm ready to tackle the second 4 hour of my shift.
ReplyDeleteA 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.. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Beautiful captured. Love all your photos.
ReplyDeleteThis may be the end of this tree but it still looks majestic against the blue skies.
ReplyDeleteThe light on that third tree plus its shape make for a great composition, Al! The detail is also amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trees!
ReplyDeleteI do see a tiny bit of golden autumn color in the last photo!
*happy weekend*

i like the perspective of the photos. must be neck straining to look up but definitely it's all worth it! :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful Al!!!
ReplyDeleteSomeone has taken a ruler to that third group of trees.
ReplyDeleteMust 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.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Al!
ReplyDeleteLove trees.
