These pictures were taken today and tomorrow of 2015. We were hoping to return to South Central Colorado for fall break, but it didn’t work out. A revisit through the photo album will have to suffice. Which one do you like best?
We were fortunate the weather was perfect. Capturing a perfect day locks in the memory and lessens the sting of a humdrum day.

I like the header, ‘Gold Framing’ best. But they are all excellent, and each one a ‘keeper’ on its own merit.
Best wishes, Pete.

Howdy,Pete. Thanks, I think that one is the best, too. Surrounded by the glow of an Aspen grove is magical. It’s hard to capture a feeling in photography, but I like practicing.

Those are all magical shots. It is hard to choose a favourite. ‘Aspen Buddies’ is special.

Welcome! Biologists say an Aspen grove is alive, sharing the same root system, “talking” to each other. I believe it.

When I was a girl, I used to doodle and draw scenes. Repeatedly I would draw a lake with a mountain behind it and rolling hills in front with trees. When I saw Trout Lake for the first time, I was taken back. It was exactly out of my imagination.
