Pyramid (Sept 2025)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #AutumnLeaves #FallColors #AspenTrees #TreeTuesday
A mountainside forest in early autumn forming a loose pyramid of color, with dark evergreen spires rising through layered aspens that shift from green at the base to gold, orange, and hints of red toward the apex, white trunks tracing fine vertical lines.

I got out Sunday to photograph muted late autumn colors in the light rain. I made this image just moments before a lightning strike came out of nowhere and almost made me have to change my underwear. 😅

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Trees #Colorado #Nikon #TreeTuesday
Tangle of bare, twisting tree branches dotted with curled orange-brown leaves, centered on a dense cluster of brighter autumn foliage; soft, muted forest background out of focus, giving a moody late-fall feel.

Close-up of a single oak leaf in late-autumn, its lobed surface mottled with pink, orange, and green hues and fine veining; soft, cool-toned background and blurred leaves frame it.

Close-up of a rough gray tree trunk patterned with peeling bark and clusters of vivid orange lichen, lit by slanting sun against a dark, softly blurred background.

One of my favorite spots to capture the fall colors against the western slopes of the La Plata mountains.

#MountainMonday #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Nikon #Colorado #Fallorado #AutumnLeaves #AutumnVibes #FallColors
Expansive autumn landscape with bands of golden-yellow aspens and dark evergreens rolling toward rugged, gray mountains under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds; sun and shadow patchwork the forested hills while a light dusting of snow decorates the highest peaks.

Lewis's woodpecker (Melanerpes lewis)

#Photography #Nature #Outdoors #Birds #Wildlife #Colorado
A Lewis’s woodpecker perches on a weathered tree branch against a soft blue sky, its glossy dark wings contrasting with a pinkish-red belly and dusky red face; the gnarled bark adds rugged texture to the minimalist scene.

Weathered (Nov 2025)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado
Close-up of a gnarled tree trunk, its twisted, interlocking wood weathered to silvery gray and warm brown. Deep grooves, cracks, and whorled grain create a sculptural, textured pattern with a few dry leaves tucked in crevices.

Autumn Ends (Nov 2025)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado
Rain-shrouded forest with faint silhouettes of pines receding into a pale gray haze; closer trees frame the scene with damp, muted foliage and soft, diffused light.

Rainy day lazy
drops fill the mind's eye softly
clung to dire branches

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Poetry #Haiku
Close-up of fresh green aspen leaves beaded with rain, hanging from thin reddish stems; soft, out-of-focus woods and a gray sky blur in the background.

The forest breathing
greens absorbing consciences
bold light, deep shadow

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Poetry #Haiku
Close-up of a mossy tree trunk in dappled forest light, with tufts of pale lichen and green moss clinging to the rough, dark bark; soft, out-of-focus greenery frames the edges.

Hoodoo Chile (March 2024)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #NewMexico #Hoodoo #Sandstone
Sunlit hoodoos of layered white and rust-colored sandstone rise against a clear cobalt sky, the central column capped by a broad, flat rock like a stone mushroom. Textured, eroded surfaces and soft shadows emphasize the sculpted shapes.

I may not be ready for the cold, but I am ready to take in some scenes like this one I photographed in November 2023.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Mountains #Snow
Snow-dusted mountain ridges recede into a blue valley just before sunset, with low fog draped between peaks. Soft peach clouds crown a higher, snowy summit, while a sunlit red-rock ledge glows warmly against the cool shadows.

Shoulder Season (Nov 2023)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Woodland #Trees #Snow #WinterIsComing
Bare winter trees densely fill the frame, their gray branches traced with a light dusting of falling snow. Scattered rust‑orange leaves cling to twigs, adding small warm accents against the cold, muted forest backdrop. The ground and understory are lightly frosted, creating a quiet, overcast woodland scene.

Warm November light
accentuates color—cold
hiding in shadow

Narrow dirt trail winding through a dim forest, with patches of sunlight igniting copper‑orange autumn leaves against deep green conifers and shadowy undergrowth.

The Couple (Nov 2023)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Trees #Woodland #Outdoors #Colorado #Autumn #AutumnLeaves #ThrowbackThursday
Two slender, late autumn trees—one with sparse amber leaves, the other leaf-bare—stand side-by-side in a sunlit meadow, their pale trunks glowing against a deep, shadowed forest backdrop. Golden grasses sweep across the foreground, while the dark evergreens behind heighten the warm, late‑autumn light on the arboreal couple.

September Gulch (Sept 2025)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Mountains #Fallorado #AutumnVibes #FallColors #AutumnLeaves
Dense evergreen forest climbs a rugged mountainside, interrupted by a broad swath of autumn color—patches of gold aspens, rusty-red shrubs, and muted orange brush cascading down a rocky gully under overcast light.

Skyline (Nov 2025)

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Mountains #Colorado
Layered mountain ranges under a clear pale-blue sky, with sunlit ridges and deep blue shadows creating soft waves across forested slopes; distant peaks appear hazy and bluish, while a midground hillside shows reddish, rocky cuts and sparse trees.

Dissipation (Nov 2025)

As autumn slides into winter after the leaves have fallen, the colors of the woodland fade.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Woodland #Colorado #AutumnVibes #WinterIsComing
Quiet woodland thicket at dusk, with slender, leafless trees and tangled branches framing patches of green grass and low shrubs dotted with small yellow leaves; muted blue-gray light filters through, creating a cool, layered forest scene.

Another moment from last night's incredible show…

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #AuroraBorealis #NorthernLights
Town lights sparkle in a dark mountain valley beneath an intense red aurora, its glowing bands rising above a thin stripe of green-yellow on the horizon and streaked with faint clouds.

Nighttime mountain valley with a town’s lights below, under a vivid aurora: lime-green glow on the horizon fading into deep, ruby red curtains dotted with stars. Dark ridgelines silhouette the colorful sky.

Some late season hoary tansyaster blooms providing a little color after all the leaves have fallen.

Pretty in Pink (Nov 2025)

Some lovely pastel colors as the sun set this evening.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Sky #Sunset
Silhouetted treetops with sparse leaves and fine, twisting branches stretch across a sunset sky washed in pink and violet, the soft clouds glowing behind the dark, lacy canopy.
