Smokey. High Park Fire @ Bingham Hill. One of the hardest hit areas is Rist Canyon. Bingham Hill provides a view of the foothills of the area. This was taken Wednesday evening June 13. The smoke is evident on the blackened foothills and a new round of fire is creating smoke as the fire moves west. A beautiful sunset in a somber place.

Poudre River Fall Colors

The Poudre River runs through my hometown. This was taken at a spot where the river creates a small pool which allows for reflecting photos. The Fall colors were beautiful again this year.

Poudre River Falls and Fall Colors

Poudre River Falls and Color-121014-0056

Colorful Poudre

The Falls colors have moved down from the mountain onto the colorado plains. The funny thing is there isn't many trees on the plains. The local river, Poudre River, that starts in RMNP is the main water way thru Fort Collins. I was out looking for color this weekend and came across this nice little area with nice beautiful, colorful trees.
