Unfortunately, aspen leaves turning yellow now remind me of Judith Miller and Scooter Libby.

I wonder if I can sue them for damages.

These photos don't deserve to represent the golden beauty of the aspens in Colorado.

When you see them, like the area outside Aspen, CO and the Maroon Bells, the sight is absolutely breathtaking.

I've seen better fall foliage here in New Jersey than these pics.

Have you considered going back?

Shouldn't it be COLOR! Yeah, you can include green but get real, it's yellow. Go back east to see God's colors. I've lived here for 20 years and I'm amazed at the ga-ga over yellow leaves. It's fine but get a grip.

I've lived back east - the Smoky Mountains are beautiful but it's the comparison of a harlequin against a beautiful lady, one is loud, garish and colorful, the other serene. Which do I prefer? Wherever I may be at the time.
