Dry Idaho Fall

I drove around Eastern Idaho and into Wyoming this past weekend trying to find some fall colors. There were some patches here and there, but they just didn't seem to be bright and vibrant. It has been a very dry summer and I think this is part of the reason the yellows and reds look a little more brownish than bright. They do look ok if you can get some back or sidelight on them.

This first picture is of Palasades Reservoir which is east of Idaho Falls. VERY low.

This one is north of Jackson WY. The colors have a little way to go yet.

And this is around Island Park, north of Idaho Falls.

Pretty shots, Rodney, thanks for the post! Even tho its a resevoir, could probably clone out that structure in the first shot, which is a real nice comp.

Nice series of images, Rodney. I agree that the lighting probably doesn't show off the colors at their best, but nice nonetheless. What are the distant red trees in that first shot? They make for an interesting mix of colors.
