For those of us who live in the Rocky Mountain West, the changing color of aspen leaves is a sure sign that summer is fading and fall is upon us.
 
The fall color is a mixed bag in the Colorado Rockies this year. One stand of trees might show green foliage, bright gold foliage, or no foliage at all. Perhaps some of the trees just can’t wait for the winter snow and cold!
 
Editor’s note: Longtime Los Alamos photographer Gary Warren and his wife Marilyn are traveling around the country and he shares his photographs, which appear in the ‘Posts from the Road’ series published in the Sunday edition of the Los Alamos Daily Post.
