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.

I took this over Rifle, Colorado on Friday.

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.

Elkfest 2008

Today we'll be in Estes Park for our second year in a row of attending Elkfest. If we're lucky the elk will be doing their fall thing as well. It's no Johnny Appleseed Festival, but it is still pretty great.

A couple of weeks ago I flew over the mountains and I could see some small pockets of aspen trees changing colors (see this post) - well just yesterday I flew over the foothills by Boulder and you could see the yellow leaves of the aspens are in full effect.

I was debating whether I've been posting too much lately about trees and nature and not enough about art, but it is fall and it's my favorite time of year to be outside. So I suppose I would be posting more about these subjects. That and all the stuff I've been working on is in-process.

Signs of Fall

Flying through the mountains yesterday gave me my first glimpse of the best part of Fall here in Colorado: the aspen trees. Just look at how those aspens glow yellow around all the pines. I can't wait to get back up to Rocky Mountain National Park and listen to the elks bugling (watch this youtube clip) and admire the vibrant yellow leaves:

Here's another great snap I took yesterday that would look great as your new desktop background.All photos by Nathan Abels

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.
