Autumn Aspen 2015

We live in a lovely mountain valley, surrounded by lakes, trees, wildlife, 

and a river that runs through it.

Sometimes we get so used to this beauty that we don't even pay attention to its loveliness.

This Fall, however, our family has taken a few late afternoon drives and walks
up a corner canyon through the trees as the colors have been changing.  

The Aspen are my favorite.   

That evening sun and the golden shimmer.... ah.

Even tried to get a few family pictures...

A few mountain maples nestle in the scrub oak with that last bit of color hanging on...

Oh, deer.

My favorite time of the year.  Warm sun, cool air, deep shadows.

If only every day could be just like this.

Fall foliage; family.  What could be better?

It's a beautiful world.
