This is a continuation of fall photography in the Rio Grande National Forest of southern Colorado in September 2026.

I made a number of images at this location, while walking around in the drizzling rain, along Forest Service Road 250, which follows the Conejos River for a long way in Rio Grande National Forest.

This was not the kind of weather I wanted, but I knew before I began this trip that there were significant chances of rain for each day here.


With the recent and continuing rains, the local streams were flowing again after a long dry spell and there is something irresistible about a mountain stream in every season.







Ok, time to move on down the road,
Ken

I look at these images and can almost hear the river water flowing and the rain falling on trees, grass, and water.
Thanks, Becky. Maybe my photos are getting better at capturing what I see and feel as I make them, which is not always easy to accomplish for me.
