One of the fun parts of Colorado living is in the winter. It can be sun burn day and short sleeves out on the flatlands and in the mountains the boarders n skiers are celebrating.
This was taken north of Denver and the mountains are about 40 miles west. The Front Range mountains dominate the metro-plex of Denver. The snow capped peaks are the Indian Peaks and Long’s Peak is the far right one, over 14,000 feet in elevation. The Indian Peaks range from 11,000 to 13,000 feet. It is why so many people travel to the Rocky Mountains. They are slowly being loved to death.
There was a foot of snow in the mountains the day before and the following day, clear blue sky and mid 60’s temperature.
There were a few red leaves on the vine as it stretched over the arbor. Behind are the few green leaves of a different vine. Each cling to their climbing lattice, growing their direction, becoming intertwined.

Lovely photos John. I love those red leaves amongst the green.
Gorgeous. Are the red leaves Sumac?
Love the view there. We live in such a beautiful varied Country And we are fortunate to be here.
Quite the varying weather there. Nice photos.
I agree, lovely photo's ...it's early Autumn here in England, but at the moment quite mild...Rain poured down last night, almost felt as if it'd never stop. And now the day is light and breezy, the varieties of weather are never ending, and thank goodness for that....xPenx
