Summer ... so soon it fades into Autumn. In the high country it happens with lightening speed. Sometimes it feels as if I only dreamed we had summer.

Aspen is a common name for certain tree species; some, but not all, are classified by botanists in the section Populus, of the Populus genus. [Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen]
Grand Teton National Park is a United States National Park in northwestern Wyoming. At approximately 310,000 acres (480 sq mi; 130,000 ha; 1,300 km2), the park includes the major peaks of the 40-mile-long (64 km) Teton Range as well as most of the northern sections of the valley known as Jackson Hole. It is only 10 miles (16 km) south of Yellowstone National Park, to which it is connected by the National Park Service-managed John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Along with surrounding National Forests, these three protected areas constitute the almost 18,000,000-acre (7,300,000 ha) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, one of the largest intact mid-latitude temperate ecosystems in the world. Human history of the Grand Teton region dates back at least 11,000 years, when the first nomadic hunter-gatherer Paleo-Indians began migrating into the region during warmer months pursuing food and supplies. In the early 19th century, the first White explorers encountered the eastern Shoshone natives. Between 1810 and 1840, the region attracted fur trading companies that vied for control of the lucrative beaver pelt trade. U.S. Government expeditions to the region commenced in the mid-19th century as an offshoot of exploration in Yellowstone, with the first permanent white settlers in Jackson Hole arriving in the 1880s. Efforts to preserve the region as a national park commenced in the late 19th century, and in 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the major peaks of the Teton Range. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park. Against public opinion and with repeated Congressional efforts to repeal the measures, much of Jackson Hole was set aside for protection as Jackson Hole National Monument in 1943. The monument was abolished in 1950 and most of the monument land was added to Grand Teton National Park. Grand Teton National Park is named for Grand Teton, the tallest mountain in the Teton Range. The naming of the mountains is attributed to early 19th-century French-speaking trappers—les trois tétons (the three teats) was later anglicized and shortened to Tetons. At 13,775 feet (4,199 m), Grand Teton abruptly rises more than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above Jackson Hole, almost 850 feet (260 m) higher than Mount Owen, the second-highest summit in the range. The park has numerous lakes, including 15-mile-long (24 km) Jackson Lake as well as streams of varying length and the upper main stem of the Snake River. Though in a state of recession, a dozen small glaciers persist at the higher elevations near the highest peaks in the range. Some of the rocks in the park are the oldest found in any U.S. National Park and have been dated at nearly 2.7 billion years. Grand Teton National Park is an almost pristine ecosystem and the same species of flora and fauna that have existed since prehistoric times can still be found there. More than 1,000 species of vascular plants, dozens of species of mammals, 300 species of birds, more than a dozen fish species and a few species of reptiles and amphibians exist. Due to various changes in the ecosystem, some of them human-induced, efforts have been made to provide enhanced protection to some species of native fish and the increasingly threatened whitebark pine. Grand Teton National Park is a popular destination for mountaineering, hiking, fishing and other forms of recreation. There are more than 1,000 drive-in campsites and over 200 miles (320 km) of hiking trails that provide access to backcountry camping areas. Noted for world-renowned trout fishing, the park is one of the few places to catch Snake River fine-spotted cutthroat trout. Grand Teton has several National Park Service-run visitor centers, and privately operated concessions for motels, lodges, gas stations and marinas.

Before sunrise on a stormy Fall morning a bull moose crosses the Snake River at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park while two Trumpeter Swans languish in the morning's quiet time.
Cool and cloudy at North Cascades National Park today. Two nights ago I was returning from Bellingham and had just turned onto the short, narrow lane that leads to my trailer when a mountain lion crossed the path in front of me. Last night I heard a huge crash of trees and brush in the forest close by...My hairs were standing up all day yesterday, especially when hearing some sort of animal prowling around. My trailer is backed up to thick forest and tall trees. Does he live there or is he just visiting - that is the question. Tomorrow I take a boat ride up Ross Lake to Hozeman for a weekend camping trip and a Canadian holiday. Looking forward to this trip and the photo ops.
"Aspen Trees at Lake Maria State Park MN" by Patti Deters. Lake Maria State Park in Central Minnesota, just north of Monticello. This autumn image was taken while we were driving around looking at fall colors, trying to find a nice stand of Aspen trees for me to apply this texture / blur technique. I really like the way it turned out! Please enjoy more of my (scenic, landscape, digital art, travel, and more!) images at patti-deters.pixels.com.
Our Flickr friend Jeff Clow with Jeff Clow Photo Tours is famous for those awesome roadway shots. Honestly I was not that crazy about this type of view, but each time Jeff would post one of these shots I just liked them more and more. On my last visit to the Tetons I made it a type of photo to make sure and capture.
Enjoy - Happy Shooting

This is a massive 7 image pano taken last week in the Bishop Creek area of the Eastern Sierra. My favorite place to be in the fall.
(1 in a multiple picture album)
A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to check out the Fall color up in the High Sierra country near Mammoth Lakes. The peak of color was still a few weeks away, but the early bird Aspens were showing off and they are my favorite for their bright yellow and gold colors.
For this image I decided to try out an image I'd come across on this forum on Flickr (www.flickr.com/groups/niksoftware/discuss/72157636332119723/). I decided to try out the filter combination one of the contributors mentioned in using a Film Efex CEP filter and then using Analog Efex Pro 2 with film border to complete this faded film effect.
This was taken a couple of miles below Tom's Place on Lower Rock Creek Road in the Eastern Sierra Mountains of California. We were on an outing to photograph fall colors with the Poly Photo Club of San Diego.
Other pictures that I've taken over the years in the this beautiful area are in my Eastern Sierras album.
Yep, that's my boy........zillions of aspen trees and he is drawn to the one that takes him right to the edge!
Squaw Pass, Colorado
The first thing I saw when I started walking around Ashcroft, an abandoned, ghost town left over from the mining days of Colorado, was this tall, green grass that looked like waves behind this old log cabin. The light just seemed to dance on the waves of grass; clouds would pass over and sunlight would appear showing off the undulations.

Last weekend Brad McGinley, Susan Humphry and I spent a few days traipsing about the San Juan Mountain countryside. Unbelievably, my first trip to this part of the state which included Montrose, Delta, Ridgeway, Ouray, Telluride and many parts in between. The foliage ranged all over the board from green to dropped, but we were able to get peaked color where ever we went. None more than this scene from McClure Pass looking south towards Ragged and Chair Mountain (can anyone confirm or deny these peaks?).
During our stop and this glorious scene, we met a few folks who asked about the lens I was using. During the explanation, I showed them the width I was seeing through the lens and when pointing into the sky noticed (for the first time) the sun halo which was very feint in the sky. I turned the camera to portrait perspective and began to shoot the pano because I wanted to make sure I caught all 360 of the halo with room to spare.
This shot is a 9 shot bracket panorama made of 5 camera setups taken with a 14mm lens. That is a lot of data! I processed this in PTGUI which has the luxurious capability to process HDR pano’s. Once complete I saved as a 32 bit TIFF image (1.9 Gigs) and brought into Lightroom to adjust the saturation and bring down the highlights a bit. More to come from this great trip!
With some of the extra images captured here and there with aspen trees along the Alpine Loop Drive, I decided to experiment and try out some less used recipes with Nik products to see what I might bring out. After some initial work in Capture NX2, I did a conversion to black & white using a Faux IR recipe with Silver Efex Pro 2 where I used some color filters to bring out a much richer tonal contrast for the final image.

This unmarked trail /road follows Lake Creek above Twin Lakes. It was like following the yellow brick road, but no Emerald City at the end.
Hey Toto........We're not in Kansas anymore.....
My current situation.....not complaining one bit in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado. Autumn colors.....at their best!
Lots more to come.....
During a recent long weekend journey Brad McGinley and I joined Susan Humphrey for a visit and tour of the south western portion of the state. This pano of the Big Cimarron Valley shows off the color we were seeing throughout the weekend, though it may be one of the best overall stands of simultaneous turning leaves. Plus, the added bonus of the first clouds of the weekend. Just in time for sunset.
When we first arrived at this location we were in the middle of a scoping journey for this evenings sunset and were floored by the color and view. We continued on our way to see if there were other areas as outstanding, but none held a candle to this so we came back a couple hours before sunset.
This is a about a 6 shot pano taken with a 50mm lens in portrait perspective. I estimate 6 shots because it is part of 10 shot pano, which I cropped down for online display purposes. No doubt either would print very dramatically.
