I am really a big fan of fall colors photography, although I never have my camera when I see some great colors. This year the day before the leaves all fell off the trees for good, I took this picture of the Aspens and Cottonwoods just outside our front door at home. I have never seen so many red Aspen tree leaves as this year! Where else could you live and have such secluded beauty right outside the door.

We are so blessed to have this new home, and live in such a beautiful valley. There is now about six inches of snow, and today started out at -10 degrees below zero. This must be why the population has not increased too much in the area. What a blessing, to have sub-zero temperatures to keep the Californians and New Yorkers away...
