Colorado Aspens

Something about parking in a new and mysterious forest in the pitch black is a bit eerie.  At Kenosha Pass in Colorado, we pulled off onto a dirt road lined with a tunnel of dark trees and landed in a field where we parked for the night.  Upon pulling the curtains back in the morning, we saw that we where engulfed not in a bewitched forest but rather  in a sea of radiant yellow aspen trees.  A slow and steady stream of photographers also began engulfing the van.  Apparently, we were smack dab in the middle of prime aspen real-estate on their peak weekend of a brilliant display of color transition.
The area was so magical, we decided to stay for the day and another night.  On the following morning, yet another surprise awaited us the when we pulled the curtains back,...snow! It was so beautiful that the lack of warmth was no concern! We jumped right out into the snow to snap a few shots and walk along the powered trail with Clovey, who by the way, loves snow!
Coloradical!

  1. Dear Sterling, Erika and Sweet Clovey:

    I think these photos of "Coloradical" Pike National Forest are some of the most beautiful you've captured to date.
    I especially love the last picture of the three of you....I'm having it framed. It really expresses your family essence.

    Love BB.
