Oh my......... This is just freaking amazing. And this isn't even ideal light.
I am ready for more from this place. No hurry <sound of fingers tapping>..........

jaw dropping - really fantastic. Like the framing and the mix of greens, yellows and even orange colors makes it special.
I got out around Breckenridge this weekend - lots of areas blown off but still some pockets of color. I could tell from perusing the web cams that Kebler Pass area was going to be great but it was too far to get to for us with only a weekend at our disposal, and coming from Gunbarrel area...
Thanks for sharing, very inspirational stuff. Will really have to try to make it out there next year!

Mike, I'm in the Front Range west of Boulder & after driving just over 4200 miles in 2 weeks, the last thing I wanted to do was drive more a week after I got back. But then I saw the webcams, and the outside of my house was being stained (very stinky)......so I just had to go. Wish I'd had more time, since I left after work on Saturday & had to be home on Monday. But then again, the skies were going to be cloudless until the snow today, so it was an interesting exercise in "oh, well may as well shoot regardless of the time of day since there won't be any great clouds". Have to see what things look like tomorrow to see if I hit the road again.

Jim, unfortunately, I didn't have time to hike. I thought I was done shooting for the morning by the time I drove past Horse Park, but came to sudden stop when I saw the colors. A couple of quick shots, then it was time for breakfast & the drive home.

Beautiful scene, Monika. Nice job.

Well then, you sure made those extra miles count!
I seem to be very busy at work these days, but I am in the process of retiring, so hope to have more time starting next year when I transition to part time, and then even more time when I fully retire after March next year sometime. It would be fun to go out shooting together at some point, us being so close. I am sure I could learn a lot from your skills at composition.

That'd be fun, Mike. I'm self-employed so won't be able to retire. I'm limited to where I can go with my dog e.g. no national parks

No worries. We should keep this in mind for a future meet-up. Lots of great places still available to go with a dog, and I firmly believe that dogs make the world a much more enjoyable place too
