Fall Colors Starting in Southern Zion

This autumn is unusual for me. Being from Ohio, I am used to a sudden change in the trees and then a quick leaf drop. Here in Utah things really slow down. The aspens take there time, seasoning the landscape rather than suffocating it. I was surprised to find some attractive red maples and rust colored oaks; typically eastern species. The cottonwoods and willows haven’t budged and provide a nice green contrast to the pallet.
