An interesting cloud formation hangs over the famous Flatirons in Boulder. Chautauqua Meadow looks great with it's golden grasses and yellow and orange underbrush. There is still some great color hanging around the lower portions of Boulder Open Space, but the lingering snow storm on Tuesday night will most likely put another memorable fall color season. Technical Details: Canon Eos 1ds III, 16-35mm F 2.8 L II The fall color around Boulder is still hanging on in many areas. With the upcoming weather forecast for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning calling for up to six inches of wet heavy snow, the fall color window appears to be closing very quickly. While the snow might bring some interesting opportunities, the time is now to wrap shooting fall color here on the Front Range of Colorado.
I’ve been very busy photographing fall color in and around Rocky Mountain National Park the last few weeks. I’ve not had as much time as I would like to get out around Boulder and it’s open space. I was able to squeeze in a short excursion this morning to explore around Chautauqua and the bottom portion Gregory Canyon. To my surprise, there is still some very nice color in Chautauqua Meadows and some even better color in Gregory Canyon, especially along the drainage. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get out again before the pending storm, but there should be some nice opportunities for some lingering fall color in and around Boulder the next few days.
