The colors and adventures of fall
It has been a hugely busy fall so far, and there are plenty of recent adventures to be shared.

This is one of his family's favorite multi-generation Colorado trails, and it was a gorgeous day to check it out!

The rainbow of gold in the leaves on the trees and in those covering the trail like natural confetti was just lovely, particularly with the diffused early autumn light.
