Rio Grande National Forest, Colorado, September 26, 2020 PM, Part 3

By the time this final post, covering my fall visit to the Rio Grande National Forest, is published it will be late spring of 2021.  It would have been good to have been able to publish all of the fall photographs in the fall, but it takes time to review and edit so many photographs and there are always other trips, events and personal matters that delay getting posts prepared.

Maybe I should take fewer photographs?  But photography of natural places is my hobby and I get to do too little of it as is, so I will continue to make as many photos like these as often as I can get away to do so.

Fall Forest. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 24mm, 1/320s, f/11, ISO 3200.
Red and Green Leaf on Log. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 70mm, 1/200s, f/11, ISO 3200.

 

Dark Red. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 70mm, 1/200s, f/11, ISO 3200.
Fall Forest Roadway. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 24mm, 1/500s, f/11, ISO 3200.
Leaf on Log. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 70mm, 1/125s, f/11, ISO 3200.
Leaves and Moss on Stump. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 24mm, 1/125s, f/11, ISO 3200.
Leaves and Stump. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 70mm, 1/80s, f/11, ISO 3200.
Trapped. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 70mm, 1/125s, f/11, ISO 6400.

I’ll finish with a final photograph that I think is appropriate for wrapping up this trip.

Heart Tree. Nikon D850, Nikon 24-70mm @ 70mm, 1/100s, f/11, ISO 6400.

The heart shaped scar on this tree appears to be natural and not one of the many carved ones that I encountered.

As soon as I publish this, I will begin preparations for another trip to begin in a few days.  I have much to do and still have to select a primary destination.  Maybe by next year, I will even be posting photos from that trip.  (I still have other events in the queue to work through before getting to anything new)!

Thanks for following, stay well and safe,
