A stand of medium to tall trees alongside a hiking trail, the trees are a mixture of colors from greens to bright golds in the afternoon sunshine, with blue skies above peeking through the branches and leaves of the trees.

A close-up of a Virginia creeper vine, covering the dead branches of a tree. The leaves of the vine are a mix of green and bright red colors, with blue berries on the ends of bright red stems. The red leaves are almost glowing in the afternoon sunshine.

A view around another smaller wetlands pond. The pond is surrounded by scrub, shrubs, and trees that are all in a mixture of different colors between summer and autumn, from greens to golds to reds. Blue skies above with some thin cirrus clouds on a warm early autumn afternoon.

Looking across a wetlands pond with green cattails in the foreground and some large trees around the rest of the pond. The trees are beginning to change color from summer green to autumn gold. The peaks of the Rocky Mountains are visible in the far distance, covered in a dusting of fresh snow. Afternoon skies are mostly sunny with blue skies and a few high, wispy, cirrus clouds overhead.
