Back to September

I forgot to change a setting on flickr so these photos were never made public. Now there are 20 photos from our trip to Leadville/Twin Lakes on flickr in all of the golden glow.

Fall All Leaves All Fall

This is my favorite time of year. We took a short day trip to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park yesterday to enjoy the beautiful, eerie sounds of elk bugles and the yellow aspen leaves.

Ghost Tree and "Silver Spears"

Although it is well out of my financial price range, I've always loved this "Ghost Tree" by Erich Ginder. If you're in Denver - Forest Room Five has one of these. It's a great combination of high modern design (the base), and nature.

I took some photos yesterday that accompany the "Ghost Tree" well. We hiked from the town of Marble, CO to what remains of an old mining town called Crystal, CO. We met someone there that was enjoying the isolation that can be found in Crystal and she let us fill our water bottle from the mountain spring that supplied water to the few people there. She told us that on an early autumn morning, the sunlight carves between two of the mountains and hits the side of the aspen trees and they look like "silver spears reaching up to the sky."

Leaves with Snow

This morning's snowfall on autumn leaves.

New Fall Leaves Aerial Photos

The first six photos of this slideshow were taken by me yesterday around Denver, the rest are in chronological order with the newest photos first:



PS - Any thoughts on the new layout? I added the calendar and changed the background/font colors.
