Last weekend I visited Red Rocks park. There are several spots among the rolling hills in the park where sumac bushes may be found. Around this time of year, sumac leaves turn a burning red. Many times, in previous years, either I missed the optimum color or the weather was bad. Near the entrance to the park, I parked and took a walk along the road. At the roadside, I was greeted by these fall colors.<\/p>\n

Further up the road, I noticed a field of red. This day was cloudy with the sun coming out periodically. When the sun came out, the sumac glowed red in the sunlight. I got down low so that the red sumac could fill the frame.<\/p>\n

I found another single sumac growing at the roadside. These leaves were burning red in the sunlight.<\/p>\n

Close by, I found some muted fall colors on one of the bushes.<\/p>\n

Soon after, I headed towards the northern entrance to the park. Red Rocks gets its name from the red sandstones that are the most distinctive feature of the park. I stopped by one tree that was growing in front of the sandstone cliffs. This tree had the full range of colors from greens and yellows to red.<\/p>\n

It is difficult to include more of the sandstone backdrop at this location — there is an ugly power line that is located just above this tree. Finally, here is another view of this same tree. This time with a green backdrop from another tree that had not started to turn.<\/p>\n
