After getting up before dawn, driving hundreds of miles, and searching up and down eastern Sierra gravel roads for colorful aspen groves I was almost embarrassed to join the other dozen or more photographers working this scene right next to the road on the edge of the small village of Aspendell. :-)

The first snow of the season (for me, at least) on the shore of this Sierra Lake in the early morning light.
