Dreaming of Fall

No, I haven't had dreams about falling. Well, ok, I have - probably most of us have at one stage or another. But autumn (as we say in the old country) has always been my favourite time of year, and as the weather just turned noticeably colder here I started thinking about the leaves turning, the nights getting colder, the beautiful colours... (And all those letter "u"s that are omitted here in the US. Poor inoffensive little things! Heh.)

Well, I poked about in my archives and whaddya know, I found some nice fall colors. (Logically, if I'm going to call it Fall, then it's colors. If I call it autumn, then it has to be colours. Get it?) But no matter what you call it, it's still my fave time of the year, and I miss it.

This aspen caught my eye - and undoubtedly everyone else's in the Tetons, too. It stood alone against a background of evergreens, like a magnificent autumn flame.

Can you believe this red? It looks almost Christmas-like, yet was taken at the beginning of October in the Tetons.

Next week I should have more images from Yellowstone and the Tetons: the critters came first, and now it's the landscapes and other views.
