Seeing these temporary mountain waterfalls in autumn was a nice change of pace this year. #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Waterfall #Fallorado #Mountains
A tall, narrow waterfall cascades down a dark, rocky cliff face, surrounded by a dense forest of deep green evergreen trees with hints of yellow autumn foliage near the top.

I'm still a bit elated from spending a few incredible moments with these falls last weekend. There was a lot more water than I've encountered in autumn here before. #WaterfallWednesday #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Waterfall #Fallorado
A broad white waterfall plunges from a ledge in a dark, reddish rock gorge into a turquoise pool, while the stream rushes over rocks in the foreground; moss, shrubs, and small evergreens cling to the cliffs.

A tall, silky waterfall drops through layered reddish rock, then rushes over a second ledge into a deep turquoise pool. Moss-covered cliffs and dense evergreen trees enclose the cascade, with fallen logs crossing the stream.

This lovely alpenglow on the east-facing cliffs of Grand Turk on Sunday morning about ten minutes prior to sunrise was magical to experience. #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Mountains #Sunrise #Alpenglow
A rugged mountain peak illuminated by a vibrant pink and reddish alpenglow against a clear, twilight blue sky. The jagged, rocky face of the mountain is the central focus, while the foreground features the dark, silhouetted tops of evergreen trees.

Aspen Spectrum (2026) This streak of dark red amongst a range of greens and yellows and oranges grabbed my attention. #Photography #Landscape #Nature #Outdoors #Colorado #Fallorado
Golden-yellow aspen leaves fill the left side of the frame, while a slender branch of vivid orange-red leaves arcs across the foreground. Dark, softly blurred tree trunks and autumn foliage recede behind them, emphasizing the contrast of warm colors and shadow.
