This year, I made a few trips to the mountains to capture some of the fall colors. While camping, I made a trip to Ohio Pass, where I found these grove of aspen trees, with a mix of green and yellow leaves, growing on the scree slope.<\/p>\n\n\n

Early the next morning, I headed to Mill Castle about sunrise. Last year, I discovered a great location at Mill Castle during the late afternoon drive. So this year, I made a repeat visit in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n

The trees were full of birds, and many chipmunks were running along the fencing and up the trees. I did not have a long lens, so no attempt for any bird photography.<\/p>\n\n\n

Walking along the forest road, I found this location where the road disappeared into a tunnel formed by the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n

Later in the day, I headed to Kebler Pass. Aspen forests often have ferns growing below the trees. I have never made any decent images in previous years, but managed to get a couple of images during this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n

The ferns turn from green to yellow to brown. This year, I was a little early, so the ferns were a pale yellow. After a week or two, the ferns turn a brown color.<\/p>\n\n\n

That was a great trip, until I got a punctured tire later in the afternoon. After mounting the spare, I headed back to the campsite and dinner. It turned out that the tire was totally written off!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
