Fall Colors in Wyoming
Fall Colors in Wyoming
Most people think of the eastern US as being a mecca for fall colors. I’ve never been to the east, so I can’t really comment on that. I do know that the fall colors in Wyoming are remarkably beautiful. I am so glad we got to see some beautiful fall colors there, because all the leaves in Utah are just drying up and turning brown.
Wyoming is the only place I have been where some of the aspens turn red. They are amazing, and so different from the standard yellow aspen leaves.
A couple weeks ago we had a little snow overnight. I headed to the Moulton barns, knowing that the snow on the Tetons would make for great photos.
This is the T.A. Moulton barn.
And this is the John Moulton barn. Both of them iconic, and the most photographed barns in the world.
One evening we went exploring, and walking. I had to stop at this little stream and get some reflection shots. The yellow cottonwood trees were such a fantastic yellow. Just golden.
More vibrant aspen trees. Looking up.
One thing that was an absolute must for me, and every other photographer, is Oxbow bend in the fall. We got up early one morning to be there as the sun came up. I hiked up a hill to get a different view, and get away from all the other photographers that were there. I was glad I did, because this shot of the Snake river with early morning fog was worth it.
And of course, Mount Moran reflected is the best. Especially with good fall colors.
We stopped at Jackson Lake that same morning. The reflection was beautiful and I created this panorama photo from a couple of shots.
I love fall, I call it the golden time. The air is different, the colors are vibrant, it’s my favorite. What about you, do you love fall?
I’m really hoping this post goes out when I have it scheduled for. The past couple of days, WordPress has been a fail in that department. So fingers crossed.
Beautiful. We love the fresh cool air, having the windows open and the fall colors. The steam coming up from the water in the morning is also very pretty. Enjoy!
Yes, the fresh cool air is what it’s all about.
Absolutely breathtaking photos, Mary. I look forward to fall all year, and it always passes too quickly. For me, it has the best crisp air, the most beautiful colors (I live in the northeast and I can vouch for the incredible fall beauty we have here!) that surround us and tower over us every day. It’s too short a season, I’d like to get another month or so of fall at least. But maybe its fleeting time is part of what makes it so very special and so highly anticipated.
It is too short, that’s for sure. It feels like a rush to capture, and savor it. Someday I’ll get to see fall in the east, I would like that I’m sure.
Hello, one of my favorite places. I love the Tetons. The barn shot is beautiful and the fall colors are lovely. Awesome photos! Have a happy day!
Thanks so much.
your land is so beautiful… I sometimes think there is no word for all this colors, the wildlife and the traces of the first settlers what you can find everywhere… I hope this barns will be there for many many years more and all this beautiful things around them too …
It is a beautiful place, that’s for sure. Both these historic barns are within the national park, so they make sure they won’t fall down. In fact, last year they both got new roofs to protect them.
Wow wow wow! Amazing and beautiful!
Just gorgeous!!! I think throughout the entire country the fall colors are exquisite!!!!
Good afternoon, Mary! The colors are stunning. We are enjoying reds here then the orange will come. How I love this time of year!
Perfection! I wish I could beam myself right there. Colors are great here too, but the wind today will blow them away.
Gorgeous! The Tetons are spectacular, especially through your lens. I love the reflection photos the best of all!
I love fall except for the fact that it marks the end of summer.
such gorgeous images, one and all!
Looks like you are having a gorgeous autumn there. We are in a gray rainy phase now.
Fall is my favorite season. We are in the middle of peak foliage right now, and yes, the colors are the best here in the east! :) Gosh, it’s gorgeous where you are too. There is nothing like fall colors against a deep blue autumn sky.
Fall is my most favorite season of all! I also love Wyoming! The colors out there are so vibrant…the sky…amazing! These photos are just stunning! I love each and every single one…but my favorite is the bright RED Aspen…I have never seen red Aspen before. Hope all’s well Mary! Enjoy your time in the beautiful state of Wyoming!!
Breathtaking images, all of them.
Thank you for the post, Mary! :)
Wow your photos are great! I really enjoyed looking through your posts! Looking forward to more! ?
I’m slowly getting caught up on my favorite blogs…have had a busy three months between hubby’s fall in mid-July and my vet assistant course. (The shoulder is healing nicely and I finally completed my most recent test.)
Your photos are absolutely gorgeous, Mary!! I love Fall, too, except for the bugs. I wish they’d go back underground already! I’m glad the National Parks system is maintaining those beautiful old barns!!
Awesome news on your test, great job. And I’m glad the hubby is doing better too.
