Trees and grasses of gold, skies of blue and white

Ah yes, the changing of the seasons. It comes quick and never seems to last long enough.

This image was taken 10 days ago and the scene was absolutely gorgeous. Early morning light lit up the trees almost making them look like they were on fire. Above, very pretty clouds with some Colorado blue showing through.

Today if you were go to this same spot, it would not look anything like this. Many of the leaves are now gone in a sign that colder weather is not far away.
