Fall in Denver - Beautiful Time of Year

Joan yes, North East does have beautiful foliage, Central Park is spectacular itself. We are also thinking of driving up to Maine or maybe New Hampshire for its famous foliage too.

We are starting to see glimpses that fall is here in middle Georgia...Summer is not going away quietly!

Joan, i love this post ...it just is very relaxing to read & get ready for the fall which we're not seeing yet...just the dead stuff from the storm...

Goodness, average first freeze is Oct 7? The pictures are beautiful, Joan.

Oh, Joan, our poor Broncos.... we'll have to wait til next weekend.  But the fall colors are amazing right now, just starting to peak!  What a perfect weekend (well, except for the Broncos!).

Joan - so beautiful! I have been to CO in the winter - skiing - but not the fall etc. Here's to a beautiful season, cheer!

Joan -- I like this!  Informative too.  Freezing on September 8? Wow that is early. I can imagine that your fall mountain scenery is spectacular. Be sure to post pics of that!

Hello Joan,

Yes that time of the year again. Soon there will be snow falling and have to shovel it.

And that's why I moved back to Carlsbad, so I would'nt have to shovel snow. LOL

Have a great day in Denver. Sorry about the Bronco's.

Best, Clint Mckie

Fall is one of the seasons that I miss since we don't really have the spectacular Fall colors here in the Bay area, that I had seen when I lived in the northeast.

I still remember the most spectacular colors I've seen when all the leaves were neon bright. It was hard to believe that Mother Nature painted this picture.

I remember driving through Denver about the second week of October three years ago and SNOW was already on the ground!  I lived in Omaha for the first 28 years of my life so I always appreciate those LATE freezes :)

Gorgeous colors - thanks for the share.  Our leaves fall off the tree in Jan/Feb just in time for the buds, LOL!

Joan, I love the fall season, and your beautiful photos.  I hope you don't have 6 freezes in October this year...ooohhhh makes me cold!

Autumn or fall is a special season.  It is not to hot, not too cold, perfect!  It is also a time when hues of yellow, red and orange against the green of the evergreens are a delight to see.  The fallen leaves reminds me of the tune "Autumn Leaves"  Do you know it?  Here are some of the lyrics: "The fallen leaves drift by my window, the fallen leaves of red and gold"...

Gorgeous pictures, Joan - I don't know why EVERYONE just doesn't buy property in Denver, it is so beautiful, particularly with the fall colors.  If you are buying homes in Denver, Joan Cox should be your preferred REALTOR! 

Joan, fall is my favorite season...and you're lucky to live in Denver where you have all four "distinct" seasons! Thanks for the interesting info about Oct. 7th being the average freeze day. :)

Hi Joan, I always enjoy seeing photos of fall foliage since our season changes here are much less dramatic than in the northern states.  And our temperatures are still very warm so it's hard to imagine what a freeze might even feel like!  Have a great week!

Hi Joan,

I always love this time of year.  Our leaves are not quite as far along as yours.  Our weather has been warm too but expected to cool down at the end of the week.  But I am nowhere near ready to turn on the heat!

Hi Joan - my most favorite time of year! We are just having  beautiful fall weather and I particularly like the Indian Summers.  Nice photos Joan!

Great photos of the changing leaves in the hills.   With hunting, I have seen many trees changing, should take photos.

Good Evening Joan:
Great pictures. I agree that Denver can be very beautiful in the fall. I spent last Christmas in Littleton and it was just as beautiful.  Thanks for sharing a little piece of Denver with us all
