Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho

Aspen trees in yellow fall colors

I took a quick trip up into the Sawtooths this weekend looking for some Autumn color, and I found some. This is an Aspen grove that I have visited before. Although I feel I hit what I feel was the peak for color, the color still not as good as I have seen in years past. I think mostly to the dry year. But it was sure nice to be out there and hear the wind fluttering the leaves as some fell to the ground.
This picture was shot with an 85mm slight telephoto lens. The sun was hit and miss. I probable waited for a good 30 mins for the sun to peak enough to get this shot. I like it though. This is the look I was going after.
