Eye catching autumn leaves next to the Space Needle.

I took a ride to the Crawford and Hotchkiss area today. I had no real plan, but I needed out of the house. It is beginning to feel like spring, so I took off about 6 and set off to find a photo.
When I was traveling for my company I especially like the drive from Hotchkiss to Gunnison over Highway 92, the Black Mesa Road. I knew that I didn't want to go to Gunnison, too much work waiting at home, so I drove until it got to be light enough to shoot and stopped and shot, then headed home.
The Needle Rock has always been interesting to me and I found a dirt road that took me closer than I have been before. So here it is, and I can't wait to go back next fall to get those cottonwoods in the bottom in fall colors.
Thanks for looking,
Susan
Its been crazy dry here in the Colorado Front Range areas. It hasn't snowed or rained in weeks and the trees still need water to survive the winter. So yesterday I spent a lot of time soaking the ground around all my trees. The pine trees got a lovely spray of water and these droplets formed on a lot of the needles of the tree like a bunch of tiny ornaments.
Shot using a Canon FD 24mm f2.8 SSC lens with a 5mm extension tube to get a closer look.

This monument (the Geo-Needle) marks the beginning of the Jurassic Coast, a spectacular coastline and UNESCO World Heritage Site between Orcombe Point in Devon and Old Harry Rocks in Dorset. UK.
The coastal exposures along the coastline provide a continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock formations spanning approximately 185 million years of the Earths history.
To the right of the Geo-Needle is the centre of the MilkyWay Galaxy which is believed to be around 14 billion years old...!

Thank you all for visits, faves and comments!
These two photos were taken at the same place, a little less than an hour apart. For the second photo, the sun had come out and you can see the pine needles.
I use this glass darning needle to weave in the yarn tails at the end of a knitting project. This task is my least favorite part of knitting, so I decided to make it more enjoyable with a beautiful darning needle. It is handmade, of glass!

NGC 4565 is an edge-on spiral galaxy about 40 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. As spiral galaxies go, NGC 4565 is a whopper — about a third larger than the Milky Way.

This is another photo of the Iao Needle, a famous landmark in Maui, Hawaii. It is a vegetation-covered lava remnant rising 370 m (1,200 feet) from the Iao Valley floor. The "needle" itself is an illusion, and is in reality a sharp ridge that gives the appearance of being a spire when viewed end-on. The needle is an extension of and surrounded by the cliffs of the West Maui Mountains, an extinct volcano.
