Aspens turning

DINGDINGDING

Aspens have been turning for at least two weeks now.

Aspens turning is more related to amount of sun they get vs. temperature.

Last year we had wild flowers until late November long after the aspen leaves left us.

Sadly because the winter was so dry we did have a ton of winter kill in the yard. Thie moisture this year has helped us recover some of the lose but us is all about mother nature.

Love seeing all the pretty pictures thanks for posting.

this is first one in our area. We are at 8,600 feet
