Today at around noon Colorado time, the sun will cross the celestial equator, marking the passage of summer and the advent of celestial autumn. For me it means that the best photography of the year is nearly upon us.
Obviously this is the time of year when the aspen trees in the Colorado Rocky Mountains put on a mantle of autumn gold. While the rest of the country will have to wait a month, colors in the mountains arrive early. Many alpine locations are already indicating the change.
This of course is also the time of year when the big mammals enter their mating season. Soon the mountains will echo with the sound of bull elk bugling a warning to their competition, and the booming sound of bighorn sheep rams banging their heads together for the attention of their ewes.
It will soon be time for my annual trip to Rocky Mountain National Park, where Kevin and I will camp and arise early each day with the hope of capturing fabulous images of the elk rut in Moraine Meadows.
With a twinge of sadness, I also must announce that next Saturday will be my last day of the season at the Artist Coop / Gallery in Victor Colorado. Winter comes quickly at 10,000 feet of elevation, and the old building that hosts the gallery becomes difficult and expensive to heat. With few visitors in the winter months, we opt to close the gallery, so if you want to visit, I will be there on Saturday between 10 and 2:00 p.m., to open the store. We are easy to find, the last building in town on the east end of the main drag, in the same building as the mining and ag museum.
