A high perch view overlooking the Grand Teton National Park. Aspen trees are in the foreground. I'd love to have that view from my deck.
Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.

Yellow aspen trees line a winding road near Crested Butte, Colorado.
Thought I'd post a pic from Colorado since the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing the Denver Broncos today in Colorado. Go Steelers!
We took a trip up north to Flagstaff to hopefully see the changing colors of the Aspen. They haven't started to quite turn, but it was still an amazing hike.
It was a cold, misty, dreary day and I got lucky with this shot. The sun poked through for about 2 minutes the whole time we were there and I was able to see the sun light up the fields. Amazing colors!
A lucky find/location while driving around outside of Telluride, CO. If only you could hear how quiet it was other than the sounds of the leaves and water.
I first heard of the Dancing Aspens a few years ago. I'm not typically into visiting spots other photographers favor, but I felt drawn to see this grove of trees since I live only a few hours away.
Everyone I know that has gone has always guarded their location. After reading some blogs and getting some riddle-esque tips from friends, I had a pretty good idea of where they were. Since it was autumn and the leaves would be golden, we headed up to where I thought they would be and quickly found the grove!
There was another photographer there when we arrived. I let him get his shots before I took too many of my own using my classic lenses, my Canon FD 24mm f/1.4 L, Noct-Nikkor, and some ultrawide photos with the modern Sony 4/16-35.
We spent about an hour enjoying the changing light as the clouds passed overhead and taking photos before heading out to find a campsite.

I love aspen trees in all their seasons but my very favorite time to photograph them is when their leaves begin to blush at the top. Smile. When they are at peak just before they begin to turn dark they will often turn that rosey bronze color at the top.

Most of autumn was very smoky this summer, but a recent rain had cleaned up the sky and allowed for getting some opportunities to photograph the fall foliage. Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA, September 2024

A few images from February that I finally had a chance to look at.
The temp was -28C, and had created a layer of frost on everything.
An aspen forest with a fall palette of butterscotch and amber grasses; muted, warm, even honey colored tones of color create this Aspen, Colorado landscape from Castle Creek Road.

Kebler Pass Colorado - 2019
Such a great place to see the changing of the Aspen Leaves. This year was better than most, since the weather was warm, the winds were generally calm, and there was no heavy snow to knock the leaves from the trees. Can't think of a better place to view the Aspen trees.
I've probably looked at this set of trees 100 times over the years but this year was the first time I felt compelled to photograph them. Perhaps it was the quality of light or the state of color. My theory is that it is because I'm much more aware of what is around me that catches my eye. The progression as a photographer is a slow but enjoyable one, for sure!
Early Light catches the white bark of aspen trees in a forest near Ridgway, Colorado. I just loved how only a few trees had yellow leaves left, making for a very intimate scene which I feel like encapsulates the essence of fall in Colorado.
I love the trunks of aspen trees just as much as the fluttery yellow leaves! Each one has very unique markings.
We all have our favorite environs---some the mountains, some seashores, some city streets---mine is the midwestern forest.
When we were kids we spent our days in a forest that looked a lot like this one. A small group of us moving through the trees pretending we were on an adventure. We had BB guns and shot at everything that moved.
Today it's the flowers, the birds, the trees, the changing colors of the seasons and as a photographer the beautiful light that often occurs that brings me back.
This is where I have harvested deer and grouse. Where I have sat for hours and cleared my head. This is where I watch my new pup learn about the wild world.

Marmot Falls is not the official name of this waterfall, which as far as I know is not named at all. But a marmot family lives in the rocks below it, so why not name it after them? Teton Canyon, Wyoming, USA, May 2025

I enjoy the interplay of color in the Fall as one clump of aspen turns bright yellow and the next clump stubbornly holds onto its Summer green. _E8U3092
A setting looking to the south-southeast while taking in views through a nearby aspen forest. This was at a roadside pullout along the Alpine Loop Scenic Backway in Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
What caught my eye with these Aspens is the way they stood out against the dark clouds. The first shot is how I actually saw it. The second shot is the impressionist version using intentional vertical camera movement.
I absolutely live for Colorado's fall colors. I had not planned to shoot any this year since I live in Portland Oregon; however, I was able to tack on a nice day into the mountains of Colorado this past week and just had an absolute blast shooting in this aspen grove near the ghost town of St. Elmo near Mount Princeton.
With this photo I conclude my autumn series. I have enjoyed going through pictures from the 2017 fall tour through the Eastern Sierra. I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season, and I'll continue to process and publish photos from our past travels. This photo is from our autumn road-trip of California's Eastern Sierra in 2017.

Beautiful aspen trees with golden fallen leaves on the ground surrounded by pine trees.

This grove of aspen trees leads directly to the small mountain town of Aspendell, California. Look closely, and you will see homes hidden in the trees. So Aspendell is a fitting name for this community. This photo is from our autumn road-trip of California's Eastern Sierra in 2017.

It's hard to describe the feeling of seeing a scene like this in front of you. The autumn foliage mixed with the clouds and fog created an amazing palette to work with for photography. This location is incredibly popular and for good reason. This composition is certainly not original, but it was a moment that will never happen again like this.......
