Final Fall Foliage

In my world, fall is quickly coming to an end and winter will be here before long. Here are the last shots of colored fall foliage in my area.

These shots were all taken on a Saturday hike up the Palmer Lake Reservoirs trail.
Most of the leaves are already gone.
Still, by picking carefully it was possible to find an occasional impressive tree.
The My World Tuesday meme contains links to many interesting and fun blog posts.

    I love them all as always, Al, but there's something about the last golden tree that took my breath away! Glorious! Have a wonderful week!

    You seem to have a short, sharp autumn. Here we still have many green trees.
    Between the vibrant blue sky and the glowing leaves autumn in your part of the world looks a cause for celebration.

    That last shot is breathtaking. Here, the leaves haven't even really begun to turn.

    Still beautiful, though! We had a hot, dry summer and many of the leaves fell before cool weather brought out the color.

    Great photos! I like all of them! The golden trees are especially beautiful. You live in a gorgeous part of the country. I was in Denver the first weekend this month visiting my daughter and the aspens were beautiful.

    We are just reaching peak color but it won't be long before the trees are bare and that white stuff starts piling up.

    Great captures, we still hopefully have at least a full month of Autum before the snow starts to fall.
