Fall Is Here

[Photo-John]

I never made a big public announcement about it, but I moved to Salt Lake City this spring. I've been looking forward to the fall colors since I moved here and they have really started to go off in the high country and up the canyons in the Wasatch. On Saturday I went to ride and shoot at the Snow Basin ski resort near Ogden, Utah. The maples are nuts right now and should be even better by next weekend. This is probably just the begining of a flood of foliage photos from me. We don't get colors like this in California. The aspens will be turning next

And to all of you who want to complain about the mountain bikers, don't bother. These photos wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for mountain biking - that's what gets me out with the camera

Lucky you. Here we just have mosquitos.

I like the second one best. At first glance, I thought he had an animal skull on the handlebars, but no, just the rocks behind him.....

Oh wait, let me find my glasses...

Great shots, John. The colors are beautiful......no complaints about bikes here.....

It's not quite fall in NJ.....the weather is cooler thankfully, though. I spent yesterday at the Jersey Shore...beautiful day.

about the colors... I've been all over that state and I'll tell you right now the Eastern Sierra has WAY better colors than anything out there... Twin Lakes???? Lower Rock Creek...

No way! The Eastern Sierra is awesome. But there are no maples there. Rock Creek is all about the contrast between aspens, rock, and sky. But there are more aspens here, [lus the maples. It's pretty sweet. I do love the Eastern Sierra, though. Last time we were at Rock creek I got some awesome photos.

as Johnny's mommy i can tell you he lived in Eastern Canada when he was in about the first grade (and also 'grade two' as they say up there) . . . in the province of New Brunkswick, in the Maritimes . . . now that's color! - i grew up in Colorado, though, and i love the aspens

RE: Comment from "Forrest"---add Convict Lake to your CA list. As an ex-New Jerseyite, and ex-N. Californian, I am blown away by the aspens of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and cottonwoods of the Rio Grande valley, here in Northern New Mexico. Bottom line, it's nice to have great color wherever you have landed! :thumbsup:

Forrest and I have been to Convict Lake together, in September. It is pretty damn good. The great thing about Convict Lake is the color in the rock, along with the aspens. And you're right, Richard, it's just good to have color. There's hardly any in the Bay Area and I'm just so psyched to watch the daily changes. And the maples are pretty special. Just like Forrest

John great images - like the first one:thumbsup: . We don't get a lot of variation in colours here - mostly the poplars turn yellow and fall to the ground. Even though Fall is not officially here until Sept. 23rd, they are threatening us with snow mixed with rain overnight tonight . Oh for the days of summer. I look forward to your further postings of the Fall in the Wasatch.

Cheers,
