I've got no words for this one.

Snow-covered peaks rise above forested slopes, where snow-dusted evergreens mingle with golden autumn aspens beneath a clear blue sky.

I am still trying to catch my breath from my trip up into the mountains this morning. Everywhere I turned there was something else taking it away… 🤯

Low clouds fill a forested mountain valley, with golden autumn aspens among dark evergreens beneath a clear blue sky. The tree limbs in the foreground are frosted with fresh snow.

Some fabulous contrast this morning with the past-peak colors and fresh snow…

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado

Golden aspens with dark orange and red at the tips glow among snow-dusted evergreens and bare branches beneath a deep blue autumn sky.

There's that clash of seasons I was looking for! 🙌🏼

Last Saturday was my first visit to this little waterfall. I will be back for sure.

#WaterfallWednesday #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #Waterfall #AutumnVibes #FallColors

A broad, silky waterfall spills over layered rock ledges into a rocky stream, framed by shadowed evergreens and golden autumn foliage.

This kaleidoscopic patch of trees is one of my favorite every year. Those red accents and unique color contrasts are wondrous.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #AspenLeaves #FallColors #AutumnVibes

A gently sloping mountain meadow is covered in aspen trees turning gold, orange, and red, with some green foliage still remaining. Dark evergreens break up the forest and a pale rock outcropping appears on a steeper slope in the distance.

The fading veins of San Juan Gold had me in awe on Saturday…

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #Mountains #AspenLeaves #FallColors #AutumnVibes #SanJuanMountains

Golden and orange aspens pattern a steep hillside, their pale trunks interspersed with dark evergreens.

Low clouds veil a rugged mountain above a hillside of bare aspens and scattered gold-orange foliage.

A bright band of golden aspens winds through a pale, mostly leafless grove above dark evergreens.

Dramatic drifting
over peaks, through valleys—fall
manifesting gold

Golden aspens brighten a dark evergreen forest as thick clouds drift across rocky mountain peaks.

The Cub (2026)

A dense aspen grove glows gold with scattered orange leaves, pale trunks rising before a dark evergreen forest and rocky slope.

Here's to the best part of a Monday… the end of it! 😂 I kid. Hopefully we all had the least Mondayish Monday we could. Don't let the bastards grind you down.

Grayrock Peak on Saturday morning…

#MountainMonday #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Mountains #Fallorado

Low clouds sweep across a broad gray mountain above dark evergreen slopes and golden autumn aspens, with a pine framing the foreground.

This stand of Aspen trees were well past peak on Saturday, but the darker tones and textures of the bare trunks in this scene grabbed my attention.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Forest #Woodland #Mountains #Colorado #Fallorado #AutumnVibes #FallColors

A steep mountainside is densely covered with slender pale-trunked aspens, their sparse upper branches revealing gray rock ledges. Golden-orange autumn foliage fills the lower slope and scattered patches above, contrasting with the bare gray trees and shadowed forest.

Here is some moody, misty autumn morning goodness in the San Juan Mountains for #MountainMonday.

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Mountains #AutumnVibes #Fallorado #MistyMountains

Low clouds drift across dark, forested mountain slopes, partially veiling a broad, flat-topped peak. Golden autumn aspens glow in scattered bands along the shadowed evergreen foothills beneath a pale gray sky.

I was soaking wet from head-to-toe at this point yesterday morning after getting caught in a downpour while hiking into a gulch to explore a waterfall, so I decided why not just stop and take another picture in the rain… 😅💦

#Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado #Autumn

A cloud-veiled mountain rises above dark evergreen forests and golden-orange aspens, framed by bare aspen branches in the foreground.

The light and the color of the changing aspens during yesterdays dramatic, stormy morning in the Lime Creek area was pretty magical.

#Fallorado #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Mountains #AutumnVibes #FallColors

A mist-shrouded mountain rises above dark evergreen forests, its rocky summit faintly visible through low clouds. Across the slopes, golden and orange aspens glow among the conifers, creating bright bands of autumn color beneath the gray sky.

@drumshaman.bsky.social Oct 11, 2026, 4:03 PM

The quickly moving storm clouds yesterday morning made for some wonderful splashes of light on the peak colors here in the San Juan Mountains of Southwest Colorado.
