Autumn's "Flowers"

Autumn is brilliant here in the Colorado mountains. Not only is it beautiful, but Shyla also loves that the air is getting cooler. She can run and jump without getting hot.

Flowers have almost completely gone to sleep, resting for next year. However, I did find one hardy clover bloom next to a pond.

The real star of autumn is the leaves. I am constantly scanning for especially beautiful ones. I loved these leaves as much as any flower!

I found these gorgeous leaves while flying low above an aspen grove. The entire tree had leaves this color!  I plan to show you aerial photos an entire tree of leaves like this one in a future post.

Yes, autumn is golden, especially when the sky is blue!

Autumn is winding down here. Many of these leaves will fall if the forecasted snow hits us on Monday. In the meantime, I'll keep on enjoying the "leaf art" that surrounds us.
Thank you to the LLB gang for hosting this hop!

  5. Beautiful colors! Our leaves are just starting to change - a little late this year, not sure why! I love fall, too, the colors, the cooler days and even more cooler nights. It's my favorite time of year.

  10. Snow on Monday? Be still my beating heart. Snow or rain would be most welcome downhill. Not much leaf change going on in the city for this time of year although I found a red and orange maple tree yesterday on a walk that was quite spectacular. Gotta love this time of year!

  13. It would be so fun to be with you and Shyla and R during your beautiful autumn season. I would love to smell all the fragrances,,, and see the magical colors that are painted in your world. I would love to walk beside you and feel your joy as your eyes scan your world. I would love to see R and Shyla run and chase, and feel their ethusiasm. But you know what,, I feel it in your beautiful posts.
    love

  15. We haven't been able to enjoy autumn as much as usual, because it's just been endless clouds and rain here. Probably by the time we see sunshine again, next thing we know they will be saying that "s" word here too! :)
    Beautiful photos!
