In most of the years I've lived in Colorado, the leaves are well-off the trees before any decent snow falls. The late-changing colors this year, however, afforded a rare opportunity when we got a good snowfall the other day. It cleared overnight, and I waited until the sun was high in the sky, illuminating the west slope of the mountains across the river from me before driving up to the pass to capture this scene of autumn leaves and snow-covered peaks.
