Golden Colorado Autumn in a Jeep

The boyfriend decided to sell his Honda civic and buy a Jeep wrangler instead.  I can only say that it seems to fit him, and Colorado, perfectly.  Lots of driving on back roads that had previously been beyond our reach.

 <<Ladies, can you blame me for holding onto this one?>>

 <<She likes to pee in water for some reason but usually she drinks first>>

 <<Makes me wanna take a back road...put a little gravel in my travel>>

 <<Just some fence sitting>>

 After admiring the roads and the changing colors we decided to walk along a trail inspiring this little writing...

"Rotten air reaches up in tendrils from the damp floor of the forest smelling familiar of a long awaited autumn.  We make our way from the dirt path and begin picking through the stiff grass a path of our own, our feet making offbeat rustling with each step.  Light streams down in rich, golden beams enhanced through the many yellow leaves whispering a welcome to our presence.  I look ahead and watch you stride beneath the golden arches framed in silver beams. We manage to hop from log to log until we reach that fallen tree and balance our way out to the middle.  

Whoops and hollers echo up from the bike path just down the hill and we sit immaculately still.  The most innocent of beings comes through the thicket.  A doe and her fawn, wary at first, but then comfortable and unaware of our excitement to have company.  In the silence I realize how different the aspen grove is from all other forests.  No squirrels scurrying back and forth chattering at anything and everything.

An entire fortress of trees all agreeing the time for autumn has indeed arrived.  None trying to outdo the other in its seasonal frock but rather celebrating together in a holy cathedral.  The same dancing breeze knocks the aspens and from down below it sounds as though the forest is rocking itself to sleep for the coming drifts of winter snow and howling, bitter winds."
