Elm tree on Elm Street
This is the view from my front porch and living room. All these colors on one tree!. The sky is clear and blue....should be 76deg today. I will continue to plant peonies, tulips and hyacinths in hopes of spring blooms. Don't need to go to New England for fall colors just come to Elm Street, Denver

In search of yellow leaves
Today I was a leaf peeper! I went out southwest of Denver in search of yellow leaves.....that would be of the Aspen trees. This is my first opportunity to see them turn from their spring green to yellow. In my 20s and 30s I used to ski in the Rocky Mountains and would see these trees naked for winter standing only in their upright birch colored white bark with black and gray marks down the trunk. In the spring the gentle breezes will catch the leaves and make a lovely flapping sound. I found a really nice grove on an off highway road, parked the car, got out my chair and started to sketch. It was a great day to leaf peep!
