Foliage
October 13, 2008 | 30 Comments
Last weekend, the day after we had a ton of snow, we dusted off our camera and took it to a nearby park to scout for some yellows, oranges and reds. It was cloudy and cold. We aren’t really in birch and aspen country, so we need to drive for a few hours to see the real deal. This was pretty, nevertheless.

We found most of the foliage still green, with snow on the mountains. Odd, really, for this time of year.













Jen has been treating us to some spectacular Colorado fall foliage. Check. It Out.

So beautiful, if I didn’t know any better (which I do!) I would say that this is in my back yard since we had the same (?) snowstorm this Friday night! Ahahaha, we DID! I knew it! But I have to admit, that it came as a surprise that you live in our fair city of trees….
Beautiful pictures, makes me see my fair city in a new light. Love your blog, and am honored you live here…
