DAY 59 - Two colored Trees

I know there are lots of great fall pictures but I have a special love of these when there are two or three colors in one tree. I keep trying to capture one with three but so far this is my best catch - I love the look.

DAY 24 - Rainy Apsen Grove

It was absolutely POURING rain nearly all day and I had this idea to get photos of the rain - but this is what I got! It's a nice photo of the Aspen 'stand' in my front yard but you can't even tell it's raining. So, I promise you it's raining in Colorado Springs! We are even right now under a flash flood watch, so there, LOL

Day 3 /365 - Front Yard BEFORE

This is what a front yard in Colorado Springs looks like if you don't weed, fertilize and care for it. . . . for the past 4 years, I've only mowed and occasionally fertilized and the sprinkler system has been broken more often than working. Well, THIS is the result - we didn't have a yard; we had a small ASPEN Grove! LOL

Aspen trees, evidently, are the oldest living organism on earth and are all from the one, original root (or so local legend tells me). So, the original small stand of Aspens in our yard just grew and grew! When I finally called out a landscaper this year to ask advice because there were so many roots in the yard the grass wouldn't grow - the radical solution was to remove the top six inches of our yard and start over - those photos for tomorrow.
