Late this morning, DW and I roamed a piece of the high country looking at fall colors. In Golden Gate Canyon State Park, and along the highway towards Nederland, there were lots of Aspen that had turned, but they were rather dull looking. So we went to Eldora and found some gorgeous colors, including the first two pictures below. Returning to Nederland, we ate a nice lunch at a Nepali/Indian cuisine restaurant called Kathmandu -- buffet, no less.

After lunch we proceeded north towards Ward (along CO Hwy 72) where there's a large valley that always has a spectacular view. The remaining pics are in that valley.

Larry,

Love to see the Aspens turning. I noticed some on a hillside here in Yellowstone that are now golden. Haven't had a chance to head towards the Grand Tetons where I know they will be gorgeous. Maybe in a couple of weeks but I'm afraid they might be gone by then.
 
We saw a lot of gold Aspens yesterday coming in through West Yellowstone.  Looks like winter is definitely coming.
 
Larry,

I did manage to get a couple of shots but the peak had passed.

You guys are killing me.  I couldn't get to the Aspens this year.  It is a wonderful time in the mountains.  I am attending the Southeast Rally this month and hope to get some good images in Georgia and the Okeefenokee Swamp.

Notice that in nature, all colors seem to go together very well.  :)

Amen, Bob, even colors that fashion "experts" say don't belong together. Of course the expert artist may have something to do with that.

Throughout the world, actually...
