Hiking Timp

I hiked Timp today, and took it slow so I could get lots of pictures. It was hard narrowing things down, but I finally decided to just post my three favorites.

First of all, I love the way this red maple looks against the dark background. I was lucky that there were deep shadows behind it, which let me get this shot.

Second, I took this shot underneath several leaning-over trees, because I loved the golden-green light.

And finally, I saw this stump on top of (frozen over) Emerald Lake, and liked how it stood out.

Even though so many of the plants along the hike were dead, there are still so many beautiful things to see!
