PURE GOLD

"There's gold in them thar hills!" The third week in September has never failed me when I've been in Colorado. The aspen trees are spectacular this time of year. Here are four pictures I took of populus tremuloides from our vacation. #1 (above) was taken on the ride up to Pike's Peak.

These next two pictures were taken along a country road during an afternoon drive.


This last shot was taken outside the cabin. These aspen were in various stages of green, yellow, and red.

In my opinion, their beauty is richer than gold.
