Yesterday morning in Phantom Canyon. I planned to go back either yesterday afternoon or this morning, but didn't make it.

Yeah, that's a Caudle - you can tell without the narrative. Sweet shot!

Great shot, I love the way the rock faces 'bound' the cottonwoods. FWIW, I was hiking up Poudre Canyon yesterday early (Greyrock) and the mood/colors were just like this. Spectacular!

Awesome, Todd. The combo of snow and colorful cottonwood rocks.

Beautiful! Snow and autumn leaves is a hard combination to beat!

I love the color of the cottonwoods and the fog in the background. Great!

Wow Todd, that's sweet! I had a chance at a shot if I had more time yesterday on the way to my Pastor's house in the Woodman Valley Area looking up at Pikes Peak and the Cotton Woods had Majical Backlighting and SNOW! But was running late and thus no photo!

You're is inspiring! :toast:

Two seasons in one! Good work, Todd.

Nice Todd! I knew I should have gone down that way yesterday! :toast:

Waaaa!!! I wanna see gorgeous scenery like that with snow and the cold and the runny nose and the frostbitten toes and the color and the altitude....Oh wait, all I have to do is look at your pix :-)

Great shot! The snow really makes the trees stand out.

Sweet shot, Todd. When i was driving back over the Wets yesterday i saw about a dozen scenes i would have loved to shoot, but theres no where on that dang highway to pull over!! Im seriously considering bringing a few cones and blinking lights next time.
