Two Red Leaves. © Copyright 2020 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
A pair of very red autumn aspen leaves in a grove in the Eastern Sierra Nevada.
This pair of leaves reminds me a bit of the photograph on the cover of my book, California’s Fall Color: A Photographer’s Guide to Autumn in the Sierra. Like that photograph, this one was made while getting “up close and personal” with autumn aspen leaves, wandering around inside of a very colorful grove in the Eastern Sierra.
Although my opportunities to photograph fall color this year were limited by wildfire conditions and the challenges of traveling during the pandemic, I did get to the “East Side” for a few productive days. In fact, given the challenges while I was there (which I have described in other recent posts) I’m actually pretty happy with the results. It certainly helped that I managed to arrive at peak color at the location where I ended up, and that this year seemed to produce much more colorful trees than usual, with lots of orange and red colors.
