Lacustrine Delight

Afternoon light glances off an aspen-bedecked hillside, and filters into the shallow, shady bowl that cups Lizard Lake, near the Crystal River in Colorado. Sumac, Mountain Birch, diminutive sedges and stately dark Engelmann Spruce all contribute their hues to the orchestra of color that plays for a few brief movements each year in the high country of the Rockies. Then the winds come, the daylight wanes, and winter arrives, resetting the clock to begin the ancient cycle again.

 

Thanks for looking, and for taking the time to visit!
