It sure has been a great year for color, and it is hard to express to anyone who hasn't roamed through aspen groves just how exhilarating it is to be bathed in golden light!

The morning got off to a good start with big clouds and calm winds, but that changed as a front moved in, bringing winds and cooler temps. I had such big plans for the day on the Million Dollar Hwy. until my friend told me she got panic attacks from sheer drop-offs. She was being serious and I could appreciate how heights become more of an issue as we age. Guess I will save that itinerary for another trip, lol. But the morning spent at Crystal Lake couldn't have been lovelier with the mirror reflections on the water and the golden light. We spent an hour strolling the shore before the wind moved in, roiling the water and darkening the skies.

Really nice, DMeyer!

Beautiful set with those aspens and all those gorgeous golden colors. Excellent reflections. Glad you got those prior to the winds.

Glad you enjoyed this set, DJ--Crystal Lake has never disappointed me, it's always photogenic! (But more so BEFORE the winds kick up, lol!)

Thanks, Doug! I was very happy with the colors on my visit to this location this year. My other favorite visit was from 2010 when there was a small pier at the head of the lake, rather than the big mechanical box that is there now.


That is indeed a beautiful scene! And I too, like the old wooden pier in your photo. It adds a very nice point of interest. I am sure the makers of the new pier were strictly thinking "Functionality, and cost", not aesthetics. It never entered their minds.

Oh, there is no new pier, only a big metal box that probably houses the electrical controls for controlling the water level. That's why I am glad I have my old photo!

Hi Joe! I appreciate your dropping in to view my Colorado trip. Does that mean you have completed all your edits and submitted the images for your calendar?

Actually the calendars were done weeks ago and I am laboring on my newsletter - just getting into the German version now.
