October moods
Meadow Creek wetlands, Frisco, Colorado.
SUMMIT COUNTY — Even once the bright aspen leaves are gone, the autumn season reveals a rich palette of warm hues. One of my favorite places to watch the changing seasons and changing light is just a five minute walk from my home, along the Meadow Creek wetlands in Frisco. A couple of nights ago, Leigh and strolled there with the dogs, thinking that we’d missed the brightest colors of the evening, but at low-light settings the Nikon managed to capture some exquisite shadings and tones.

bob, either you gotta move, or build yourself another deck-irnoically, my favorite shot is the one with ‘hand of man’, the lights of frisco, lending scale to ‘the wetlands’.
Ha, I wish I had a deck overlooking this scene! We live up in the Frisco “industrial” zone, behind 7-11, but that spot is only a 3 minute walk!
