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.
I like what you did with the lone tree. I lived here for so long I just do not appreciate the red anymore.

These are incredibly beautiful images. I was in Utah once in April and it was wonderful, but it looks like autumn in Utah is the best. You got awesome images in Ohio, but you could never get this kind of majestic beauty.
