Fall Colors, 2021 — continued.

One afternoon earlier this week, I headed up Ohio Pass. At the base of the pass, I found this small colony of aspen trees.

As I headed up the pass, there are couple spots where the forest opens out to reveal some meadows on the mountainside. At this spot location, the afternoon sunlight was grazing the tree tops of this aspen colony.

After reaching the top of the pass, I continued on to Kebler Pass. The setting sun was lighting the far side of the valley, revealing the full range of fall aspen colors in the autumn.

Early the next morning, I headed out to Carbon Creek. I discovered the previous week, where the fall colors were reflected in the still water.

Returning to Ohio Pass, I stopped by the Ohio Creek which flows down the pass and out into the valley below.

During the mid morning, I found several locations where the morning sun backlit branches that were laden with yellow leaves.

On to Kebler Pass, I returned to a pond that offers some really great reflections of the surrounding aspen forest.

Often, I like to make some images of aspen leaves that have fallen to the ground. After looking around, I found a single yellow leaf that had some orange coloring.

This final image was made at the bottom of Ohio Pass. This is close to the location the first image on this post.
