Water-colored Aspen
When I first think of an aspen, I think of the leaves. But the trunk of the aspen is beautiful itself; it's smooth, brown-white bark, scarred in deep black where branches broke away. On this day, the fog and rain moistened the bark, adding a greenish-brown highlight. Great Basin National Park, NV, OCT 2015

Brightening the Gloom
Great Basin National Park, NV, OCT 2015 We are accustomed to seeing the fall foliage on brigt sunny days that make the yellow and orange aspens gliimer against their white bark and the blue sky. But their beauty isn't limited to the sunshine. They can brighten the gloomiest early winter morning. Special Merit Award, Light, Space & Time Online Gallery 2016 Landscape Competition
