Good Morning, my friend. Sure does look like they are growing their winter coat. Our Aspens have started to turn. Fall is definitely in the air. Happy Day, my friend!
Was on a hike to see aspens and petrified redwood forest today at 8,500’ altitude. This photo isn’t color corrected, it’s just how blue the sky is. 🌸

The aspens were beautiful today, too- I’d say next weekend will be peak around Pike’s Peak. I’m hoping to find a few for a friend from TX who has never seen Fall in person, but I guess we might have to lean southwest to find them by the 10th.
the aspens closer to the road and at lower elevation are just getting started. also i apologize for my crappy old android phone camera 🥴
this was a last minute decision and so we started too late to get as high up the mountain as we wanted to (forgot to factor in just how long it takes to drive up a 10,000 ft mountain on a forest service dirt road lol) BUT we got some sweet views anyway and a nice short hike
