October light brightens the morning as a Red Winged Blackbird perches in a bush of golden leaves. The leaves were falling just as fast as the colors were fading from the wings of this beautiful bird.

Wings of August
With wings tattered and torn a Fritillary takes a sip of nectar on the coneflowers. Those tattered wings sure feel like a metaphor for the month that has passed.
We don’t know about you but we are looking forward to autumn this year.
Autumn Perch
October light brightens the morning as a Red Winged Blackbird perches in a bush of golden leaves. The leaves were falling just as fast as the colors were fading from the wings of this beautiful bird.
At waters edge
Autumn days spent at waters edge looking across a lake or down the rivers path. Grasses slowly gone from green to gold, clouds have replaced the sun and the winds seem to have picked ever so slightly each day as if to give winter its waking breath.

Just about sunset
The sights, the sounds and the smells all suggest Autumn is fully here. This day was no exception as the sun sets ever earlier and the green grass has long tuned brown.
Setting Sun
There is nothing more beautiful than a great sunset. The same could be said of wildflowers. Photographed on a hike near Schofield pass CO.
Blue Tips
A bit of blue still lingering as snows have come and gone this fall. The beauty of the summer flowers dressed in fall colors never ceases to delight the eyes. Photographed near Crested Butte, CO several weeks ago.
then and now
The sun has moved from north to south and the flowers have turned to berries.
Then and Now.
Although they’re one they’re not the same or at least it feels that way.
The flowers are beautiful but the berries are somewhat poisonous (depending on your species and I assume most of you reading this are human of course) and produced form a the pervasive and often considered to be invasive Bittersweet Nightshade vine.
First of the season
Autumn colors in the valley and snow up high, the transition is almost complete.
Mountain Meadow
The grass is brown and the Aspen leaves range form green to yellow to golden and red.
No calendar required, Autumn is here today.
Outside of Fraser, CO.
