Day 245 Peak on the Hill

Once a year the aspen are in their glory and peak in mid september. I usually get up to the mountains to see them for a day or two. There have been several years when I completely missed it - life just gets busy darn it. This year, I've got 10 full days of driving around, painting, taking reference photos and being in aspen heaven. I set this time aside a year ago - and I am already blocking off the days for 2017. I'm missing all kinds of things in town; fall art classes have started and I'm missing the Walk to End Alzheimer's. But, oh these trees.
