Color Show

The weather has been picture perfect for over a week, with another week still to come.  From time to time the weather has a way of getting stuck on rewind and, for once, it's been stuck on heavenly.  The fall colors have taken over every tree in the canyon and area around Silver Lake has taken on a golden glow. (All images are clickable)

The aspen trees are tucked in around the conifers forests that surround Silver Lake.  Saturday afternoon we were lucky to arrived when the light was at the right angle to produce reflections of sky, trees and clouds in the glassy lake.

With every turn of the head the view was spectacular and full of shades of gold and green.  The trees were putting on the best show of the season. Instead of describing it all to you with inadequate words I'll leave to you enjoy the best tree show we've ever seen at Silver Lake.



T is for Trees of the season.

Completely amazing. Wow.

[Barbara-Kay]

Called DH to see your pictures. He gasped! Oh Wow! (smug satisfaction - I know he loves autumn best of all.) Thanks for great pictures!

As we clicked on picture after picture, I could just envision Bob Ross trying to paint the scene, dragging the shoreline trees into the lake to create the reflection.

Beautiful photos, Margene!!! Our fall leaves are just beginning to change---the dogwood, sumac, and the tips of our sugar maples are at their first stages. Aren't fall colors just gorgeous!!!!

I adore aspens, but nothing shows color like our eastern hardwoods! You'll be here right about peak for Rhinebeck...it's glorious in the Hudson Valley! You should think about enlarging and framing some of those shots, by the way.
