This is the fifth in my Aspen series If you are very lucky, and Mother Nature has been kind enough to furnish the right amount of moisture and temperatures that are above freezing, this is the results. ASPENS AT THEIR PEAK! This is a very rare sight and is a photographers dream time. The yellow is so intense that it hurts your eyes just looking at it. The best that can be found on a good year are patches of yellow on a hillside. Maybe an Aspen grove in full color, But an entire canyon in it's peak is rare indeed. This beauty lasted only two days as the cold winds and frost striped the trees. A bit of trivia for all of you nature lovers. Did you know that a stand of Aspen trees are from one single tree. What its seen as more trees are the roots of the Mother Aspen.

Wow. You were right. That's about as gold as it can get. Nice work.

There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.
Good morning Robert
These trees amaze me. Especially with the explanation you give. So far as I am aware, we have nothing like this here. Beautiful photo of a magnificent scene.

Success is found by having the courage to let go of known shores.
the yellow is so intense it seems to be reflecting off the grey rocks, tinging the evergreen trees, and making the grass yellow even if the leaves havent fallen yet. wish i could witness aspens that powerfully glowing :P

The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
Unbelievably rich. It seems like even the grasses and undergrowth are affected by the color. Carl's right. It glows.

Its awesome how even the sky and the water are yellow.

"A piece of toast with butter always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet. What happens if a piece of toast is tied butter side down to the back of a cat? Does it perpetually hover above the ground in indecision when dropped?"
I'm glad you decided to carry on with this collection.... all of the shots are fantastic...
i must say though, this is my favourite. It must have been amazing to be there, to see such concentrated colour... isn't nature fascinating? well done :) sarah

G'day Robert,
How glad I am that you were there on one of those two days! A unique scene I would likely never have seen or appreciated without your excellent capture. Great work.

Not all beauty is obvious.
