We just got back from our almost-month-long trip, driving backroads between a few western national parks. As you can see, almost all the "colors" we saw were yellows; no oranges or crimson. The top picture is in the Provo area; next down is Bryce Canyon; then Monte Crsito Pass near the Tetons and Yellowstone, and the last is the Bitterroot Range. In this photo you can see the cone-shaped tamarac tree. It is an "evergreen", and the only such that actually changes from green to bright yellow. It does not drop its needles, which is why it is called an evergreen. The hills were alive with them! If you want to meet a tamarac, you can drive over Bluett Pass. They aren't as numerous there, but to spot one is to find a treasure. ML

gorgeous, gorgeous! Love the warm colors; especially like the Bryce shot with the red rocks behind the aspen, and the aspen "legs".
Beautiful! You've captured the landscape nicely!
