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.

The post-peak cottonwoods along the Animas in late October were marvelous to experience in the morning light.

A tall, gray-trunked tree with outstretched branches stands amid dense undergrowth, its canopy ablaze with golden autumn leaves. Pale, leafless twigs lace through the foliage, while a mix of muted green and lavender-tinged shrubs fills the foreground, creating a soft, misty woodland palette.

I think I might have a bit of an obsession for the backlit cottonwoods along the Animas River in their autumn colors.

It's not just aspen gold in Colorado during the fall. We have beautiful birch trees here along the river in Durango, as well.

Some late October scenes that caught my attention early this morning along the Animas River. With the state of things, experiencing these seemingly ordinary details in nature helped steady those inflamed nerves.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #AutumnVibes #CaptureOne
Dense tangle of thin gray branches covered in small oval leaves turning bright red, orange, and yellow, filling the frame; a few green leaves remain, with a soft, muted blue-gray forest background. Reflection of golden autumn trees and blue sky on still water, broken by a dense lattice of dark green reeds and grass blades jutting upward across the frame. Close-up of a slender brown twig with several heart-shaped leaves in autumn colors—pinkish red to golden yellow—edges lightly frayed and frosted, set against a smooth blue‑green background. Dark, rough-barked tree trunks and a pale, twisting dead limb stretch across a dense backdrop of golden-orange autumn leaves, filling the frame.
