Every autumn a melancholy sweeps over me as it seems autumn is a reminder to us of the shortness of life. (also how beautiful life can be at it's end stages) Each beautiful leaf has but one season before it takes it's final beautiful swirl down to the ground. Maybe, too, it has something to do with both of my parents being laid to rest in the month of October and some how knowing one day I will be too. :)
Taken at the Last Dollar Road in Colorado, a wonderful scenic drive from Telluride to Ridgway in the mountains, which we did
the other way round.

Wytheville's Smallest Church, Wytheville, Virginia. This small roadside church sits on a service road alongside I-81/77. The 12X6 foot chapel was built by volunteers. The chapel, which seats 6, is one of the smallest churches in America. Title quote from the poem "i am a little church" by e.e. cummings.
Aspen trees grow right through the HOOD, FENDER, CAB AND BOX of this classic 1952 Ford Pick-up
FORD GROVE - Public Art Piece
IRONWOOD MALL, RICHMOND
Artist: Douglas Taylor.
City: Richmond, British Columbia

This red truck once worked the blueberry fields that once covered the site of the shopping centre. As the trembling Aspen grow larger the ‘52 Ford will rise higher. Nature engages technology in this piece.
Artist Statement
Ford Grove addresses the historic erosion of farmland over the past decades: ubiquitous fields of blueberries have been replaced with strip malls, condo developments and warehousing . . . an ongoing eradication of some of the world’s richest farmland. This Ford pickup was at one time working in those blueberry fields!
This metaphor of the machine being invaded by nature also offers speculations on the future of unfettered development. Indeed, it is only a matter of years before the trees have their way with this vehicle.

If I were to envy any persons on this planet, it would be mountain hermits. You often hear old platitudes such as, 'Speak out. Be heard.' On the contrary, a breath of fresh air would be something like: 'Silence, think for at least 15 minutes, and then maybe speak out.” ― Criss Jami, Killosophy
The Aspen trees are a lime green when they first leaf out in the spring making them almost as beautiful as in the autumn!

In addition to the changing leaves, we were happy to see a herd of bighorn sheep and a single moose. No photo ops, though. Maybe next time! : )
I had so much fun with my family this past week in Bishop! Aspen trees are my absolute favorite and seeing them so colorful just makes me happy! This was one of my favorite spots we went to, the reflection was just perfect.
As far as everything else, some exciting new things coming my way! Which means crazy busy times for me haha. I have a ton more images to work on and no time to work on them :( I am also sad that I haven't much time to be on here and see all of your photos :( Hopefully soon I will be able to get back into it.

Maroon Bells is called one of the most stunning outdoor settings in North America and it's on the bucket list of many photographers "with a burning desire to capture their own version of Maroon Lake" according to Laurent Martrès, from the book Photographing the Southwest. I was one of them!
We visited the area around Maroon Lake with a (at that time) obligated shuttle service from Aspen Highlands. It was very busy there indeed, but I was glad I had the chance to see all the overwhelming beauty, though it was only for a few hours.
Thank you for taken your time to visit me, comments or faves are always much appreciated!
Island Lake | Marble, Colorado
This is a close-up of a tree that caught my eyes from the scene I captured earlier. We arrived early morning at Island Lake in Marble, Colorado for sunrise.However, the lake was entirely covered with mist and Ragged Peak was hidden upon arrival. I met another photographer at the scene who is from around this area and he suggested the conditions might still change. And they did.
The low clouds/fog rolled in rapidly at Coeur d'Alene, a gold mine on Academy Hill, Central City, Colorado.
Coeur d'Alene Mine opened in 1885, and continued production until 1940, the same year Central City's mayor was killed in an explosion. A spark ignited the blasting caps that were being trimmed by the mayor (who was also a miner). The closed mine fell into disrepair, with the building finally collapsing under a heavy snowfall in 1986, It was restored in 1994 by the Colorado Historical Society.
We departed as the fog/clouds moved incredibly fast into the area. Within 10 minutes this scene was encased in a dense fog.
Rain on young aspen leaves. Do you see one leaf almost totally sideways?

The adult male Northern Flicker (Colaptes auratus) feeding the fledgling or juvenile male flicker, next photo.
Fairly well hidden except for that eye, but an unappealing bit of lighter sky, left corner. Photoshop and I are not friendly, yet. I have not grasped masking, nor do I like Lightroom. Sigh...
