Autumn in the Rockies
The boys went to scout camp giving Mark and I a weekend to ourselves. We have both been sick, but even so we took the opportunity to drive into the mountains to see the aspens. The autumn color in the mountains starts in September and ends about mid-October. We were blessed to catch the tail end of autumn in the Rockies.
A patch of aspens near Nederland.
More aspens near Estes Park.
Loved the orange colored aspens.
Colored leaves against a brilliant blue sky...gorgeous!
My dear hubby with autumn aspens in the background.
Estes Park with golf course in the distance.
The elk decided to come to the golf course.
This is looking toward Rocky Mountain National Park. Click on the picture to make it bigger. See the snow on the Rockies. Isn't it gorgeous?

Yes, it certainly is gorgeous! Lucky, lucky (or I should say blessed, blessed) you!!
great pictures! very exciting get away :-) i hope the whole house thing works out..... it takes a long time to sell places so i wouldn't worry too much about having to move right away.
Thank you ladies for your comments, they are much appreciated!
Outdoor Mom: we are taking a look around at homes. Getting a feel for the market. Excellent point about not having to move anytime soon due to the market being slow. Besides that our lease agreement is for a year and it comes up in Feb. 2011.
