This is a view of Flagstaff’s Aspen Corner- and you can actually see a bit around the corner!
On the Corner
Leaves in Gold
My favorite season for photography! Walking among the aspens trees with my camera is one of the experiences I look forward to every year! This image is an in-camera multiple exposure.
Aspen Arch
We have just returned from a week in New Mexico, and on the way back we stopped in Flagstaff to visit the aspens, which we had read were beginning to get their fall color. We were surprised to see that they have almost peaked- it is truly glorious! Fellow leaf peepers- it is time to head up there!!!
From Green to Gold
When I was at Aspen Corner in Flagstaff in October, the aspens were still turning from green to gold. I wonder what they look like today!
Aspen Corner
Here is another ICM image of Aspen Corner- with a touch of realism.
Band of Gold
Here is one of the views along Hwy 395 between Mammoth Lakes and Bodie. The aspens were in their full glory during our visit, and wherever there was a viewpoint, we would stop and admire the splashes of gold set against the mountain backdrop. Others were stopping too, and we all would smile as we exchanged shooting positions and comment on how lucky we were to be there at the perfect time.
In the Shadows
This was taken on our trip to Flagstaff last month. It was VERY cold, but the sun was out casting long shadows on the snow.

Fall Tapestry
Fall has arrived here with cooler temperatures, some rain, and a lot of WIND! We actually turned the fireplace on last night during Monday night football (okay, I was doing genealogy on my iPhone…). We haven’t made it up to Flagstaff to see the aspens- so here’s an image from last year.
Sticks
I never know what to call these stick tepee things I often see on our walks- nor do I understand why they are there. But- the autumn light coming through the trees called out to me to take this photo.
The Seasons Collide
On our last trip up to Flagstaff, we experienced two seasons in less than 24 hours! This is the morning after the huge snowstorm/thunderstorm which kept waking us up during the night. The snow was still lightly falling when I took this photo.
Aspens in the Round
Another photo from Aspen Corner- this time from our second trip this month. It was mid-to-late afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the wind was just beginning to pick up, heralding the snowstorm to come.
Notes: Those are my husband’s fingers (I am not coordinated enough to hold the camera and glass ball at the same time- and I didn’t bring my tripod)! And this image won third place at my photo club this month!
Aspen Glow
Here is yet another image from our last trip up to Flagstaff. We are hoping to get up there again this week; there’s a chance of snow, so fingers crossed!
Fall Forest
As we walked on the path through the trees, the sun started peeking through the clouds, creating spots of sunlight among the aspens on this overcast day. We are hoping for good weather next week when we make the trek up to Flagstaff once more on our quest for fall color.
People Were Here
When starting our walk at Aspen Corner, we saw indications that others had been there before us.
Not Yet
We had heard that the aspens were beginning to turn up at Flagstaff, so we headed up there yesterday to see what we could see. As you can tell from the photo, there are signs that Fall is on its way, but we will have to make a return trip to see the aspens in all their glory. Have I mentioned that Fall is my favorite season?
