Last Fall's Aspen
This week's theme at Tina's PicStory is "Under the Tree." I'm going back to last fall to find some photos for this, when the aspen were turning. The photos were taken on a hike near the town of Palmer Lake.
Aspen are a beautiful part of my part of the world, so I'm linking these photos to Our World Tuesday too.

Thanks for visiting and comment on my post. Me and my husband took a week of vacation to visit our daughter that is living in that city to do her Ph.D. in Geoscience.
This city is faraway our home about three hours.
Have a nice week ahead.
Gee willikers Al, you have reminded me that there are no other aspens as beautiful as the ones in CO. They seem to burn like fire in the Autumn. Radiant gold against the bright blue sky. So very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWonderful trees and a gorgeous color. Looks like a very nice place. Love the perspective in the last photo.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series! I love the colors of the last picture.
ReplyDeleteI love the autumnal colours, these are really beautiful:)
ReplyDeleteWe have missed Fall in CO for several years now -- thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours, but I nearly panicked then when I saw the autumnal colours. I'm still waiting for summer!
ReplyDeleteOh, Al. These photos just fill my eyes. Especially the one with the puffy clouds with the trees against the sky...just stunning.
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful shots. It's my dream to see aspen trees in autumn.
