Fall in Colorado

Fall in Colorado fall is characterized by stark contrasts of yellow aspens, pines, azure blue sky, and mountains. It's different from Pennsylvania where rolling hills with yellows, reds and oranges mix with the lush greens provided by lots of rainfall. The picture below has some reds that are unusual for Colorado.


This post is a little late now that we are in winter rather than fall, but isn't it spectacular? My camera fails to capture the full vibrant beauty of the fall landscape, but this is a glimpse. The fall foliage is mostly aspens so you have to go where they are....this stretch of highway between Divide and Cripple Creek is loaded with glorious vistas of changing aspens.


Can you see anything in the above photo? I think it looks like there is a "10" in the leaf color - it gets a 10/10!!!


Sedona enjoyed the views too, but was disappointed when she had to admire them from the car. At this stop, she got out and explored with her nose.
