all the leaves are brown.

whit and i road-tripped (verb) it up to estes in the hopes that i could capture the lovely color change on the aspen trees. unfortunately, there were a few things that went wrong...
a) i only had 1 cf card with me and it was my 256mb...lame sauce, steph. lame.
2) a large majority of the trees had already let go of the yellow loveliness...lame sauce, trees. lame.

despite the setbacks, i still got to hang with whit and there are few things better on a sunday afternoon.

on the way...


fuel for the fire (don't worry...it's of the root persuasion.)


we did get to see a bull elk with his harem. he was showing off and doing his best to show the 2 other bulls in the area that ALL of the ladies were his. selfish bastard. seriously...there were 20 ladies, at least. enough to go around. but that's not how elk roll, apparently.


and whit and i established our mutual favoritism of autumn...but for wholly different reasons.

we agreed on the weather, but we both dig spring and autumn for their weather...what pushed her over the edge for the fall is the football season. she loves her some men in tight pants beating the tar out of each other (me? i prefer men on ice...with sticks). (c:

what really makes me favor fall is completely aesthetic. i love bare trees. i do love the colors (and, lets be honest, i just love trees) but there is something about the bones of the tree. the core. the graceful beauty. i just appreciate them more in their raw form.

i'm weird.
but that's okay.

i'm a bit sad because i will be missing out on a pumpkin carving party on saturday...pumpkins, cider, friends...i wish i could be there. )c:

but, i get to shoot gabe and kelly's wedding, and let's face it...it's going to be epic. (c;

happy autumn, everyone...what's your favorite season?

HEY....is someone paying that girl?? (damian perhaps???) at any rate, thanks Karla. no...not beer. rootbeer though.

Thanks for "capturing" the trip steph...both in frame and in word. i still think we need to work on the idea of road-tripping all around the country....you taking pics...me at the wheel....good times! lets face it....I'm patient with your "get-the-right-shot-and-angle" persuits...am i not? ;) and i'm a good driver...a very..very good driver. judge whopner. 72...definitely...definitely 72
