There is nothing quite like a Colorado indian summer day. Yesterday I spent some time on Monarch Pass and took a few photographs of the changing aspen. There is noting quite like Colorado fall. The colors this year range from brilliant yellow to reds and oranges. I recommend getting into the high country this weekend. […]
