Just about the peak of fall I was wondering around Hudson Gardens just south of Denver. With many of the trees filled with fall colors I also found some had just a few reminders of the season as the majority of their leaves had fallen. Walking past a small pond I noticed the reflection of a tree on the other side which was mostly barren but also had a few leaves remaining. Using the lake I was able to capture the reflection of the tree as the water moved slightly from some ducks in the area.

While photographing the Denver skyline at sunset in the not too far distance I noticed this tree and the color of the leaves. With some time prior to sunset I headed over to the area to photograph the tree. Using a zoom lens I was able to capture the color of the leaves but also the interesting trunk and branches which was one of the elements which drew my interest.

I headed out to photograph sunset on a fall day in Colorado. As I set up in City Park you could see the smoke from large wildfires northwest of Denver flowing to the north, when all of a sudden there was a slight change in wind which blended in the smoke with the clouds. This flow occurred for around thirty minutes when the smoke then retreated from this flow over Denver. It was interesting to watch it come and go and blend into the colors of sunset as well. This image is zooming into the clouds to capture the blending taking place on that evening.

On an autumn day I spent some time walking through Hudson Gardens enjoying the changing leaves and brisk morning air. As I got to some of the ponds I noticed a few ducks handing out also enjoying the morning. At first I thought that moving to the other side of the pond would cause the duck to move but it stayed still. This allowed me to have the soft light on the duck and also the reflection of some of the changing leaves in the pond as well.

l went to Sloans Lake on a September morning with the goal of capturing the rising sun over the city of Denver. When I arrived the clouds were covering the city. In the matter of a few minutes they started to show the colors of the sun before sunrise which I was able to photograph. The calm winds as well as a long exposure helped add to the picture with the city and colors in the clouds reflecting in the lake.

As some of the smoke from some Colorado wildfires started to drift into the Denver area during the early Fall I headed out to capture the sunset from City Park. With many others in the park we watched the sun descend through the smoke filled skies behind the city and the mountains. With the smoke as a filter the sun turned bright orange and I wanted to capture this color while pushed the Denver skyline to silhouette with the many onlookers as well.
