Headed to the mountains...

 
Its that time of year here in Colorado, where the changing of the seasons has begun. Trees are starting to change colors, the temperatures are cooling off. I have lived here in Colorado for over six years now and never seen the Aspen trees in the mountains, I had heard it was a sight to see. So I did some Internet re-search and found a special spot up in the mountains called "Georgetown Railroad" Its a train that takes you 600+ feet off the ground and is one hour long.
Surrounding the train ride are Aspen trees.
 
 
 
 
So I booked our open cabin seats over the week and we went this last Saturday. It was a long and winding trip up the mountains. We enjoyed our ride, some Aspens were changing colors. Its different, they are in large clusters all over the mountains and look like what I keep saying "veins" trailing down. Pretty neat, Caleb was over the moon about the whole train ride itself and was peering over the edge in complete silence {taking it all in}. After we visited some of the local small shops and had some ice cream and headed home! I seriously can't get enough of this time of year. I start our many fall festivities in October and is always a fun filled month for us

  It was early in the morning, right after droping Caleb off at school. I was driving with my camera sitting on the front seat, with I intentions of taking fall pictures. I noticed on the side of the road the way the light was making these line of trees glow, was amazing! It wasn't just these two glowing trees the entire road had a array of different colors!! Red, Oranges, Yellows, Greens yet to turn. The entire package, felt like I had struck Gold!
 
We have the most beautiful fall colors here in Colorado during this time of year and I have never taken photos, I know shame one me!! I found this awesome fall photo challenge here and thought this what a excellent idea to get me inspired further to take some pictures around here!
 
I thought this photo was ideal, a green tree taking its journey to become Yellow!
