Autumn in Colorado can be a glorious time of year.
The leaves changing color; cool, crisp air; intensely clear blue sky with puffy white clouds; a freshness that comes with relief from the summer heat, all combined to invigorate us and draw us to the high country. This particular photo was taken on the Grand Mesa in late September of 2012. This was one of those special days and we had elected to take a mountain bike ride on one of the many mesa-top trails that led us to Waterdog Reservoir. The Grand Mesa is home to an estimated 200 or more lakes and reservoirs that offer great fishing opportunities. As we paused for a break here, the beauty of the scene delayed us even longer. Good thing we had brought a camera. We wish a photo could also convey the crispness in the air we felt that day and how alive it makes your senses, but you’ll just have to rely on your own imagination.
