The Watchers

Fall along the Wasatch in Utah offers countless opportunities for grand landscapes filled with color. It's easy to get lost in those scenes. However, taking a step back you can begin to see some of the finer details that make Fall here in Utah even better. Bright red maple leaves among the aspens are a favorite of mine and show up for a short time before the reds begin to fade and make way for the golden yellow aspen leaves. Early one morning as I took a moment to explore an aspen meadow nearby one of those more grand viewpoints, I noticed the red backdrop of maples against the aspens. The soft, early morning light was perfect.
