On The Road This Week.

Working backward from today, starting with the landscape around Ghost Ranch, New Mexico.

I made a couple of trips on the high road over the last week. The aspens are doing their utmost to please fall color seekers. The horses performed perfectly, positioning themselves just right.

The forest floors were already full of fallen leaves. There are plenty more to go!

The skies over New Mexico have performed quite admirably, as they usually do. This place, with the old wooden barn storage shed, is always a pleasing stop on Highway 64.

My favorite aspen group on the Cumbres Pass, just over the state line in Colorado. This is my go-to barometer for how things are progressing as far as the turning colors go. I’ll be back there tomorrow.

The colors in this image seemed appropriate for the season, on this old tractor parked in a field in Jaroso, Colorado.
