Artist's Comments

When I lived in northeastern Pennsylvania, my favorite season was fall because it was so darned pretty. The west isn't known as well for its fall color, but here in Southwest Colorado there is indeed some prettiness for a short period of time. So, I took some pictures on my drive home today. I actually wanted to take them on my way in to work because the sun is in a better place then...but it was thunderstorming this morning, so afternoon it is. :)

Unfortunately, the sun washed this one out a little more than I'd like, due to its being taken in the afternoon, but I wanted something that included the river. So, there it is. You can see some of the fall color in the background, too. Just not as nicely as I'd like, and the sky is really washed out. *sigh* In any case, that's the Florida River, and this was taken along La Plata County Road 240 between Durango and Lemon Dam.

I have such a pretty work commute. :)

Yeah, it really is pretty. Well, OK, it gets pretty brown, dry, and ugly in the summer, but fall is great with the color, winter is great with the snow, and spring is great with all the billions of shades of green.

Very nice shot. I always love Autunm because it shows landscapes like this. :D

Yeah, autumn is pretty, but it's also kind of sad. Because I know that when the color goes, that's when our 6-month-long winter has set in. :( Long, long winter here in the mountains. But at least it, too, is rather pretty, when we have a lot of snow. It's just really, really cold and by the time it's over you're SO ready for some warm weather.
