Fall Colors


Cousin Michelle and I have a tradition of hiking the Colorado mountians in search of the best fall colors. Unfortunately, this year we were both so busy that we almost missed it. We took a drive up to Georgetown and Guanellas Pass looking for the Aspens. Pretty much all we found was fog and rain with occasional hail. But then we found a few streams and some trees that still had their leaves. I love Colorado in the Fall!

It was beautiful, but really cold! So we stayed in the car most of the time and got out only for photo opportunities. We saw some big horned sheep and a couple foxes. Unfortunately, the fox was the only one who would sit still.

And tonight it's supposed to snow in Denver 6-12 inches! Looks like winter's starting already. Good thing it'll be back in the 60's by the end of the week. Ahh...I love Colorado!

Nice pictures, Beth. I can't believe that fox - was he really close or did you have some special camera lens? It looks like fall is coming very early to Denver. Michelle looks a little cold! Give her our best.

Neat-o! Last night we saw a beaver in the lake by us - first time this year. It's beginning to look like fall here, too, but no snow for a while yet. It was in the 60s most of today.

Oh, and dad - it's the middle of October. That's not early for fall!
