Last weekend (Fri. Sept. 15th to Sunday Sept. 17th) we went to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for the first time to hike, run, play golf and have a look at local real estate. On the way we captured the changing of the Aspen trees on digital camera along with a couple of shots of Steamboat Springs ski resort after they had about 8 inches of snow on Storm Peak and Mt. Werner during the day on Saturday.
Aspens from Poudre Canyon on Highway 14 in Larimer County WNW of Ft. Collins -

A couple of pics of Steamboat Springs ski resort just before leaving town on a Sunday morning with temps in the high 20's -
We enjoyed the snow, but it wiped out our tee time Saturday at Haymaker golf course just southeast of town.
September Snow! 1st 'winter' training run of the season in Boulder County (pictures)

Very pretty! Thanks for posting!
Colorado is so pretty. Thanks for sharing!
Nice pictures :~)
Thanks for the pics!
You are all welcome.
Just wait for the ones I post tomorrow from our Peak to Peak Hwy changing of the Aspens viewing drive from yesterday. (in Boulder and Larimer counties here in Colorado)
:)
Okay, will do.
I remember riding my trail bike in the Poudre and what memories. Thanks for the reminder!
Thanks for the Steamboat Springs pictures.
Brings back memories.
Ever visit the hot pots a little ways out of town?
No snow in Fairbanks. Tenth frost already. All the leaves, birch and aspen, are changed and most gone already. The larch looks odd as the only yellow tree in a sea of black spruce.
No, this was our first time visiting the area. We are definitely going to return for a ski trip early next year. We have to find out about the hot pots. (or did you mean spots???)
Spectacular! #6 and #8 are wallpaper-worthy! Oh, I love fall.
So, you went into Steamboat from the east? Guess you didn't see Rabbit Ears, then? It's to the south.
Being our first time in the area our sense of direction was out of calibration.
BTW, if you want the full digital version of these pics just let me know and I'll upload them to place where you can get them.
Thank you! I saved them and will see what I can do - may not have to do that, but thanks for offering. I love them.
Snow at Rabbit Ears already? "Cool" - ha ha! So, did you see the Ears when you were there? IOW, did you look up?
PS - Yeah, it worked just from those. The #6 is my wallpaper now! Love it.
FYI - I have *never* changed my wallpaper, ever - first time I liked something enough to do it! Thanks again.
Sounds great. I'll have to try it as well.
Just go to the pic you want, put your cursor on it, and right-click, then click "save as background" and there it is! Don't know how I'll take it off (but I have an idea - in settings, desktop, probably) - but I may not ever want to!
