On the Road in Colorado - October 2013

The ‘paper airplane’ art seen at the top of the escalators in the Denver International Airport (picture above) is always something I appreciate upon arrival. There were a lot of travelers when I arrived in early October…and returned a week later.

Our final destination was Utah so the images of Colorado were what we could capture along I-70 while enroute. Fortunately - driving from Denver to Grand Junction is scenic any time and particular this time of year  when there is the addition of fall call to the mix: the dark green of pines, the yellow of aspens, older fall colors for scrubby trees, a scattering of snow on the highest peaks, and bands of rock colors anywhere the vegetation has been swept away or never grows in the first place. I also included an apple tree (with fruit) that was growing at a rest stop and the sunrise on the morning we flew home - in the slide show.
