telluride

Few pics from my early October fall trip, this year's fall colors at Ridgway area was far better than last years.

This also is from Yankee Boy Basin. This is one of many waterfalls along Sneffels Creek. There are always some wildflowers adorning the edges of it, but there is also a lot of bare earth and rock on that side. Which the bare areas bug me, so I try to compose to eliminate them as much as possible...

Here is a short video of Lower Blue Lake in the San Juan Wilderness in SW Colorado. I am not happy with the way the water had gotten blown out in the last part of the video, but I am hoping it's something that non-photographers will even notice like we do. It's a learning lesson for me to...

Colorado sure makes it hard to want to go anywhere else to photograph for fall color... Although I have gone to Grand Teton for fall I haven't been much of anywhere else for fall because of views like this! CC Welcome!

Up at Lower Blue Lake in Colorado the surrounding mountains feel like they are safeguarding the lake. It's quite the sight to behold. This shot was about the reflection. There are some wildflowers there in that area but they easily get over shadowed in this spot by all of the green vegetation...

So I left my daughters the day before my birthday so that I could wake up to snow in SW Colorado. So I camped out up at Dallas Divide. It was supposed to snow overnight, but it ended up only snowing a bit. But about an hour after sunrise the snow storm came in and hit. I got some cool shots of...

This was from a month ago up at Dallas Divide in SW Colorado. It's getting late in the Milky Way season with the Milky Way being more vertical then horizontal, which to me is my least favorite position for it. In this case with the partly cloudy sky and liked how they interacted with the Milky...

From a few weeks ago outside of Telluride Colorado, it's an area I had heard about for a few years but kept running out of time to go explore it. This time I made time and it was well worth it. This is going to be one of my regular spots now. :) All comments are welcome, Jim

The color was not great at sunrise, but shortly after the sun started hitting the clouds and giving a nice soft gold tone to a lot of the clouds. It made for a very pleasant morning. This is from Dallas Divide in Colorado, from a week ago. All comments are welcome, Jim

It's not only starting to feel like summer its starting to look like it too! A little gem on the side of the road on the way to Telluride.

The forecast had been for clear skies at sunrise but you just never know. Camping out in my Jeep in 0 degree weather can get a bit chilly. My iPhone despite being plugged in died, my key fob for the jeep must have died also as the alarm went crazy as I tried to open the door of my jeep in the...

This is one from last fall at the Dallas Divide in SW Colorado by Ridgway. I came back to a stormy sunrise and got some pretty cool light. All comments are welcome, Jim

From back in SW Colorado at the Dallas Divide, while I missed snow on the peaks I did like the late afternoon sun with the contrasts it then provided on the mountains. The few clouds floating lazily through the scene seemed to compliment everything well. All comments are welcome, Jim

It's hard to believe but Fall Color in Colorado was 2 months ago already. Time sure flies fast! :eek: This is from SW Colorado outside of Ridgway on CR 5. My #1 photo was a cool little private road I found off CR 5, either Dean or Bart has posted a similar view already. And as a note, if you...

This was before the sun poked it's head through the very small hole on the horizon at Dallas Divide in the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado. It was dark, very dark out still and the clouds were moving up in the sky pretty fast so I decided to put the 10 stop ND on to make it even darker so I...

This is from a few weeks back up by Dallas Divide in the San Juan Mountains in SW Colorado. It was one of those totally thick cloudy and rainy mornings, the kind where you think there is no point in photographing as it will be too cloudy. And then you go out to photograph anyway. :) So out I...

This was from the stormy morning that brought the first dusting of snow to the San Juan Mountains in SW Colorado and to Mt Sneffels. Woke up to it raining/snowing and very overcast with the mountains being blocked from view up on the Dallas Divide off Hwy 62. I didn't get out to shoot at first...

Well, the title actually may not make a lot of sense, but the sunset did kind of pick up and snowball itself into something pretty cool. And this was the day after the first dusting of snow on the peaks which we had been not so patiently waiting for. So this is Mt Sneffels in the San Juan...

It's hard not to hit the break pedal when I pass by any reflections!
