You can usually set your clock, here in Colorado, by the changing of the leaves. This year, for what ever reason, the leaves have been slow to turn. I did notice a patch of gold in the distance while at the waterfall on Sunday
These are the same trees as we got closer
The majority of the Aspen trees turn a golden yellow...but every once in awhile one turns reddish orange.
Dpn't be in too much of a hurry for autumn's leaves because. . .
ReplyDeleteNothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.

it is just gorgeous. i keep seeing the news reports of what is going on in your part-time state. it just makes me heart sick.
ReplyDeletein the meantime, we were still 97 here yesterday and dry as a bone.
Oh, I like that time of the year to see the change of colours. The trees become so beautiful in the Indian summer.
ReplyDeleteFall is so beautiful yet so cruel because ice and snow are inevitable, arriving much too quickly after the autumn display of colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the autumn colours Janey and love even more that there is a rebel tree every now and then :)
