Almost Officially Autumn

A scenic September day in Colorado


Aspen on the Mesa
Aspen by Jumbo Lake
wild daisies
I picked wildflowers and colorful leaves to dry for future crafts

Cosmos to Dry (now under heavy books to preserve)
One cosmos dried and one fresh from the stem

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf's a flower.

  1. Beautiful pictures! I am SO enjoying this time of year:)

    You left a comment on my blog about changing my Grandson's name, it is correct! The pictures at the top are Autumn, the second set of pictures are Austin:)

    Have a blessed day my friend, HUGS!

  2. These pictures are so beautiful, I've only seen the Aspens in summer. Our Son sent me a pic yesterday of snow on Mt. Princeton-they are hoping for a better ski season.

  4. Beautiful in Aspen. Your post just reminded me I have some maple leaves pressed last Autumn, they are still a rich dark red.

  5. Beautiful pictures, and I loved the video. I love cosmos! One thing I remember from visiting Colorado is the gorgeous blue skies, somehow more brilliant than other places. Maybe it's the altitude?

    Looks like you are a little farther into fall than we are. Our trees are still mostly green.

  8. This is a lovely post! Thank you for sharing the beauty around you. Autumn is my favorite season but S. Cal. is not a tremendous place for viewing fall leaves.
