Autumn in Aspen, Colorado

[lytehouse]

Took off a few days to go up to Aspen to see if we could catch some color this year. We decided to take a car this time because of sketchy weather reports. Left Colorado Springs on the 22nd under cloudy skies. By the time we stopped for lunch, it had already started to rain.....first time I was glad to be in a car and not on the bike!
At the base of Independence Pass the rain cloud seem to be waiting for anyone who dare enter into it.
On Thursday, the day started out a bit cloudy & drizzly. But because of those clouds, I think I got some very interesting pics.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed going there to take them!

From Aspen we headed on to Rocky Mountain National Park, there was not alot of color to see there, but it's still pretty. The elk are starting their mating season, so they are all over. The pics didn't come out too clear..but it's not easy to take them from a moving vehicle.
On our way home, just outside of Estes Park, CO., there's this little chapel called St. Malo's, I wish I could have gotten inside for a few pics, but a wedding was about to begin.

It's that time of year! Here's a couple of the our "little" mountains.

Hey, wonderful pictures you took there.

I used to live in the Springs -- Colorado is just a gorgeous place :rockon:. Those mountains and just awesome to behold.
