Aspen Leaves, The Colors is the sixth in the Canticles series. It is the second volume in the series about the aspen leaves among other things. The aspens have long been a fascination to me. Living here on the Grey Wolf Resort and Ranch has allowed me the chance to walk almost everyday among them. They are a creation with a beauty unknown by any other. What else is a colony that could be older then mankind? In their own way they have been teaching me about the seasons here. By reading their colors one can tell the seasons and when the coming of the next one will happen. But the unique thing is that sometimes they will choose colors that they did not last year when the Autumn season comes. Gold is the most often found color. But reds and oranges also abound. In your journeys may you have the chance to walk your pathway through their forest colony.

No need to hop on a plane to the East Coast! California has beautiful fall foliage, especially in the Sierra Nevada, which glows red and golden every year with aspens, cottonwoods, dogwoods, maples, and oaks. This compact, lively guide shows visitors where and how to capture the best images of turning leaves in the eastern Sierra, Tahoe, and Yosemite, as well as destinations off the beaten track. Mitchell's advice is suitable for photographers of all levels, whether tourists who want to share their experience with friends or professionals seeking advice for dealing with the special challenges of fall photography. More than a manual of technical considerations, though, California's Fall Color encourages us to be overwhelmed by beauty--to take home an image containing the color but, just as importantly, the essence of that sublime feeling.
