With the changing of the seasons, Colorado’s high country has been a sea of gold in recent weeks. This year, in addition to trying to capture images of these expansive areas of fall foliage, I tried to turn my lens to some of the smaller details.

My photo partner and I (my son) spent a lot of time walking through these areas of aspen trees, oftentimes literally crawling on the forest floor to get a different angle. That type of shooting isn’t my normal cup of tea but I have to say we had an absolute blast doing it this year. Here are some of the pics I captured – I hope you enjoy them.
