Aspens in the Fall is Mother Nature's wave good-bye for now!
The last one is a stunner!
Excellent!

I was just thinking today about the ephemeral nature of those autumn colors. As soon as they hit their peak they are already coming down — they don’t last long, and we’re left with something much, much less colorful. (I try to extend the fall color season by starting at high Sierra Nevada locations as early as September, hitting the peak there in October, following the color to the Western Sierra (and Yosemite Valley — photos soon) around the beginning of November, continuing with California coastal and other low elevation areas through November, and even catching some late color in the Central Valley though December!
The last one is an example of something i like to do a lot — namely, focus on a small section of a much larger subject to tell the story of the larger. thing. That bit of rugged sandstone cliff face is part of a much larger formation at Arches NP. (I may eventually share a photo I made of the entire formation.)
Nature's beauty NEVER last long enough for me Dan! Especially the Fall. I am sort of in a similiar situation with the mountains that go "downhill" to "the Swamp(Washgtn,DC). I too start out at the high altitudes and work down.
Again GREAT compositions here Dan!!
