It will forever be a shame to me that autumn colors last such a very VERY short time. Something to take up with the season gods at some future date. LOL
But we have a little tradition every year in which we take a motorcycle drive up through the Alpine Loop as close to peak as we can, and my husband will stop from time to time to let me take pictures of the colorful trees.
Sometimes that even entails waiting for me to quickly traipse up some random pathway in order to find the perfect shot. 😉
Those aspens really do get some very fine golds going, and it's always a delight for me. Autumn color season -- as short as it is -- happens to be one of my favorite times of year.
And of course, I get very excited when I see a wider array of fabulous fall colors, including that rich red.
We were actually very lucky this year. We headed up one morning to capture the colors, and the very next day a heavy rain wiped out nearly ALL of it! We barely had a week with these fantastic colors before they could no longer be seen. Except, of course, through photos.
Until next year!
