Picture of the Day - 9/29/2010



Aspen Leaves on Water - During this last day of our fall color tour, we ended up driving over Independence Pass into Buena Vista and then up Cottonwood Creek. One of my favorite locations for photographing aspens is about three miles past Cottonwood Lake where there is a large stand of pristine aspens. Next to the road is Cottonwood Creek and I noticed an area adjacent to the creek filled with pools of water. Thousands of aspen leaves had fallen into the pools and covered the surface in a thick blanket of golden color. We spent several minutes here enjoying the abstract patterns of leaves and river rock.
