First Fall Snow

A fresh blanket of snow, the first for the year.  Golden Aspens trying courageously to retain their last bit of glory before winter's frigid grasp takes charge. A warm fire crackling in the stove, and a hot cup of coco with just a splash of butterscotch schnapps added for fun.  It all made for a wonderful weekend.  We actually got snowed in for an extra day which made it even better.
 

Aspens at their best

Nice trees in nice colors

A Big One

There is no trick photography here.  This fish is truly that big, and it's a trout from Colorado.  That's Kanyon, Preston's dog lying beside it.  Preston took the photo with his cell phone and I thought it was worth sharing.

Trees of a different color

Many of the Aspens this year are displaying more crimson than in previous years.  I don't understand the scientific reason for this phenomenon, but it is marvelous to behold.

Prospecting for Gold

Gold comes in many forms so when prospecting for something precious...don't miss any of the nuggets that are out there.

Stormy Beauty

When storm clouds build...stop...step back, and enjoy the beauty.

Trying to go fishing

When you are having a bad day, just remember...it could be worse.  This poor soul was going fishing but he forgot just one thing, his boat trailer tire.  From the looks of the drag mark in the pavement he pulled it a long way before he realized his tire was gone.
