Vail Valley Daily Photo: A Lazy Sunday in Paradise

VAIL VALLEY DAILY PHOTO: A LAZY SUNDAY IN PARADISE -

IT'S HARD TO FAULT A DAY LIKE ONE WE'VE JUST HAD.  NICE AND WARM, NOT A BREATH OF WIND, AND ....COLOR.

THIS HAS BEEN AN EXPECIALLY BEAUTIFUL FALL IN THE VAIL VALLEY.  THE UNUSUALLY DRY SUMMER HAS BEEN CAPPED WITH PLENTY OF RAIN IN THE LAST MONTH.  I AM TOLD THAT THIS HAS RESULTED IN A VERY VIBRANT ASPEN DISPLAY BUT UNFORTUNATELY, ONE THAT IS MUCH SHORTER AND EARLIER THAN NORMAL.  THE MOUNTAIN-SIDES WILL SOON TRADE YELLOW FOR GRAY...AND THEN WHITE!  AT ANY RATE, THIS FALL HAS BEEN ONE TO REMEMBER.
