Anticipating Autumn's Colors
Uploaded: August 25, 2009
My husband and I went for a short hike last Saturday and as the wind blew the tiny green leaves of the Aspen my spirit immediately started anticipating the coming autumn colors. This shot was taken last year on a day trip I took through RMNP.

Oh, man, Melissa, you captured those mountain golds beautifully here. I'm enjoying catching up with what you've been doing. Been away on a trip to Washington for the last couple of weeks and kind of got out of touch with everything for awhile. #7917814Gary Lange September 08, 2009
