Beautiful. I often find forests to be a bit eerie and menacing but not this one…..I understand Colorado (it is Colorado, isn’t it) to be so beautiful…I wish I was there to see this…and perhaps even walk amongst the trees
Hello, SP – I agree that the darker, thicker forests can be a bit menacing…so full of the unknown. These stands of aspen, even when they’re in larger forest settings, allow so much light through their branches and leaves that it’s usually a very bright place…. I know there are quite a bit of aspen in Colorado, but these are down the road from me a bit here in Utah. I’m pretty sure, too, that you would enjoy hiking through the trees. 🙂
that’s me, just off frame right, taking a picture of you taking this picture…it will be captioned in the book this way: the author/photographer in his element
They have such wonderful willowy shapes.

I like it-this shot reminded me of something I’ve been meaning to do.

What would that be, Allen…?

Lovely! At one with the Quakies. I can almost hear their whispery murmurs.

And you know them well, Gunta. 🙂

I’m glad you could go there, Joi…it’s a wonderful place. 🙂

Oh that morning light! So beautiful through the trees!

Very much so, Susan…..

Great picture Scott, it’s another one that would do justice to blowing up and framing!

That’s a high compliment, Finn…thank you very much. 🙂

Thank you, Chris….how nice that you could be there, too!

Yes, it is, Terry…and just down the road a bit from you!

Yes, it is, Nate. 🙂

I don’t believe I ever saw an aspen. They are beautiful, aren’t they! Christmas card trees… 😉
August 21, 2013 at 10:43 pm
They certainly are beautiful, George…and would make a pretty Christmas card, too.
