It was amazing to see the stark yellow popping out from the dark evergreens. Truly a day spent in awe of mother nature and her luring spectacle named fall.
Even though it was raining we couldn't help but get out of the car a frolic around in the aspen forest.
Caught a raindrop on this one:
At the top, roughly 12,000 feet high..where the rain turned to snow:
On the way back down the rain cleared and we stopped off and found this little treasure:
I asked my on-staff geologist, Nat, why the rocks appeared to be white. His answer,"mineral deposits" My response, "oh cool!" The rocks had a variety of colors/minerals deposited on them:
A few details for the soul:
And of course we can forget a couple for the starving artists:

Jackie...
You KNOW I love all those pictures...FALL is my favorite time of year. You captured some beautiful scenary and you guys are so blessed to live in such a gorgeous place.
I think it's cool how you have a resident geolist on hand...and he has a resident artist on hand...two totally different perspectives on the same thing and both of them are interesting & beautiful.
Love you forever,
Mom<><

So many people live in beautiful places, but don't take the time to see the wonder right in front of them. Both you and Nat embrace life to the fullest and take the time to savor the seasons. Love living life vicariously through your camera!
Love,
Mom B
PS Fall is my favorite season!
