Pumpkin Patch

Boulder has many small organic farms. Every year this one has a pumpkin patch and a small corn maze.



Last year an early snow storm shuteverything down early. This year's weather has been quite warm and left everything intact.

Last one

Within another week, or two at the most, all the trees and foliage will have changed. A bright flash of color before the cold chill of winter.

Textures

What I was attempting to capture here was the range of textures created by the pallet of color in the trees. Part of it was still green, while another part had fully turned.

Study in blue and gold

This was taken in Boulder around one of the research parks.

Fall color series

In the high country, all the warm colors of fall have disappeared. Down in the transition to the plains, the color is at its peak. Down here there is a greater range of color because people have planted eastern trees which turn a vibrant crimson.

Last of the Maroon Bell series

This is the last of my photos from the area around Aspen. This is a much moodier shot of the Maroon Bells. It was heading toward twilight and the light was failing.

Road over Independence Pass

Coming over Independence Pass into Aspen country, the terrain turned into a carved river valley. The Aspen trees there were just starting to turn.
