A lane on the top of Lake Mountain (9000 ft.) displays the aspen in their prime time finery.
Near the top of Indian Canyon, nearly all of the aspens are dressed for fall.
A cold front is due this week. If we get wind as well as cooler weather (and possible snow!), the gold will be gone for another year.
I should have stayed on the road a bit longer. Thanks for showing what I missed by coming home when I did.
ReplyDeleteYour UT landscape looks great in its finery, Janie. That cold/snow is due here starting tonight. Fall is mostly over for us, I think.
ReplyDeleteThat last photograph is stunning - one of Nature's wonderful paintings.
ReplyDelete(Snow - so soon? Brrr!!)
Oh, the gold is gorgeous!!!! Enjoy it while you can. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your header image is gorgeous, as are the ones in today's post. I would love to be walking along that lane in the middle image. Such striking colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat color and pictures of them. Fall is so beautiful, just too short.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW---- love those Aspens against that blue sky... Absolutely awesome, Janie.. You do live in a beautiful area of the country.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Glorious autumn colors, beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteThe predominance of gold is startling. Good timing that you were able to hit it before the cold front. Is it the wind that knocks the leaves to the ground, or just from them turning brown? (Our cypress needles fall around the first of December.)
ReplyDeleteThe aspens are absolutely gorgeous. We would really like to visit Utah during this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteLooks just like our aspen right now but I agree the wind and cold will end the show. Definitely one of the greatest earths on show.
ReplyDeleteGolden glory indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe view is golden across the mountainsides where you and Steve ride.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the beauty, Janie.
Happy trails, be well and happy,
Pam

Wow, I am so excited to have found you all! So much to say, all I can blabber out here is that you and Steve sound like another couple I know (ahem) and we travel the country with our appalooseys (when we can) seeking whom we may meet. Perhaps our trails will cross one day. Until then we'll be happy watching you all!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Those aspens are just glorious. I love autumn...just wish it would last longer.
