Autumn Foliage Photos - South Cottonwood Canyon In Colorado (September 23, 2008)

Colorado Early Autumn Photos (South Cottonwood Canyon, CO - September 23, 2008)

	This was my first outing intentionally seeking to photograph the autumn colors and I was not disappointed. My journey begins along Chaffee County Road 344 in South Cottonwood Canyon.
	Colorado does not have the wide variety of colors well known in Vermont, New Hampshire and other northeastern states. However, the aspens bright yellow leaves are adored by many.
	The view of Cottonwood Lake. As you can see, we have not arrived at the peak time for foliage viewing, but it is coming soon!
	More aspens.
	I continued along the dirt road and came across these two bright spots.
	I know some photographers hardly ever include themselves in a photo. In this situation, I thought my presence brought some perspective to the golden glittering aspens in the background.

I knew this photo would not be as striking as it was to the naked eye. I blame the lighting. Nevertheless, I zoomed in on my view of yellow leaves and aspens while standing in a forest.
