Fall is my favorite season, so it is only fitting that my first posted collection revolves around this time of the year. I know that New England has some of the most vibrant fall colors in the nation, but I thoroughly enjoy a Colorado autumn. So, I present my favorites of fall in Colorado!
 |
Title: Autumn Rest Location: Manitou Springs, CO -Amidst all the vibrant color of this season, it is nice to have a reminder about what is truly occurring in nature. Everything is slowing down and preparing for a nice long rest. |
 |
Title: The Quake Before The Storm Location: San Isabel National Forest, CO -One of my favorite thing about Colorado aspen trees is the way the leaves quake and shiver in the wind. Sometimes I enjoy nothing more than laying on my back in an aspen grove and listening to the soft rushing sound all around. |
 |
Title: Autumn Glow Location: Colorado Springs, CO -The colors on any city block may even be extraordinary. Add a little sunlight to filter down through those multi-hued leaves and you have a natural kaleidoscope. |
 |
Title: Remember This Location: Manitou Springs, CO -Some of my fondest childhood memories are of simple games and playgrounds. The cool days and warm colors of autumn are ideal for reminiscing. |
 |
Title: Fire Re-visits Location: Pike National Forest, CO -This area was once ravaged by a forest fire. Yet, nature always seems to recover and some fiery color returns to this hillside. |
Titles: Through Leaves I and II
Location: Colorado Springs, CO
-The complexity of the leaves and branches of this tree are a perfect contrast to that simple, clear blue sky. The vibrant red is so crisp and sharp, it seems to cut its pattern right out of the blue sheet behind.
 |
Title: Rushing To Stand Still Location: Telluride, CO -Many fallen aspen leaves find their journey towards rest a rough and tumble one. Yet, whatever the means, they all find eventual stillness and peace. |
 |
Title: Aspen Path Location: Telluride, CO -I love the idea of following a path. The challenges and rewards that lay ahead, hidden by whatever bends and rises may be before us. We have nothing to do but curiously follow and discover. This was definitely worth discovery. |
 |
Title: Branches That Embrace Location: Colorado Springs, CO -Despite the many years that this beautiful tree has seen, it does not shy away from announcing its imminent slumber with a flare of bright gold. |
 |
Title: Change and Changeless Location: Colorado Springs, CO -As the natural world prepares to rest and eventually renew, this chapel simply endures and slowly displays signs of its age. |
 |
Title: Golden Standard Location: San Isabel National Forest, CO -Sunlight emphasizes this trees brilliant preperations for winter. Trees on the hills below and beyond take heed and follow the example before them. |
 |
Title: Leaves Among Flakes Location: Cripple Creek, CO -Leaves that have grown weary of the harsh winds amongst the tree branches fall to be embraced by the cold, gentle flakes on the ground. |
 |
Title: Paths Forgotten Location: San Juan National Forest near Dolores, CO -I know not where this gate's path led. The path has been forgotten, yet the gate remains as a testement to someone's journey long ago. |
This fall collection is one of my favorites. I am sure that I will be adding to it in the future.
I hope that you enjoy what you see here!
