Fallen Aspen Leaf

Found on a recent hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, I am somewhat mesmerized by the delicate beauty of this fallen leaf. My lovely wife Judy is my hand model.

Autumn Stroll

We are treated to this sight on our daily walk, which is just around the corner.

Snowball Bush

An absolutely psychedelic looking tree found earlier this spring.  Life is a trip.

Tiny Blossoms

An unknown (to me) tree that has a leaf a bit like a maple, and pretty blossoms.

Cottonwood Trees

There are many cottonwood trees in my area of Colorado. Before they leaf out in the spring they appear twisted and gnarly. A few years ago I had to have the one in my backyard removed as it was old and dying. More information can be found here.

October Sumac

Now just a memory, but what a fabulous exit. Sweet autumn, how I love you.

Late October

A row of Colorado cottonwood trees prepares for winter as their leaves are released.

Last Hurrah

On their way to bleak and barren, a group of autumn trees have one last hurrah.

Last Bud

One last tiny bud tries to bloom before time runs out as autumn becomes too cold.

Sumac Grove

These trees reproduce like bunnies, and are in my backyard, living with wild bunnies.
