Even though winter is my favorite season of the year, I am enjoying the fall colors that are still abundant.  The thorny rose branches are adorned with an entire palette of colors; varying shades of red, orange, yellow and burgundy.

Some of the tall aspens are still sporting their bright yellow leaves.  These colorful canopies create brilliant reflections in the still water.

The anemones on the trail lost their flowers long ago but their leaves are more beautiful than their flowers were. 

The wild raspberries show off their red foliage.  The morning sun produces beautiful back-lit images.

If you haven't been out to enjoy the beauty of autumn, I encourage you to do so soon.  The weather is holding out but winter is bound to happen sooner or later and we'll be looking at a serene, blanket of white where the only variance in color will be shadows cast onto it.
