Mention the majestic aspen trees of Pagosa Springs, Colorado and most of us think of the amazing fall colors we experience in the gorgeous Pagosa landscapes.  But spring is equally exciting for us locals.  Watching the tulips bloom, the grass begin to green and the leaves budding is a sign that a long winter has indeed ended.

Below are photos I took last night as I prepared to put Evan to bed.  Mellane was very excited to see that the aspen were just starting to bud in our yard so I thought I would take a few shots for her.  Little did I know that I would spend more than an hour photographing this unfolding of nature’s spring brilliance.

Pagosa Springs, Colorado demands that you venture outside.  Enjoy the photos and please call me for the best of Pagosa Springs real estate.

I took these pictures on October 12, 2010 hoping to get the brilliant blue skies that Pagosa is known for but got to the site a little too late in the day and the clouds were already gathering above the mountains.

Pagosa Springs has had a late but remarkable fall colors season this year.  This is a collection of photos I took on October 10 & 12, 2010.  I’d be out much more often but the real estate market picked up for me during this period (that’s why it took so long to get these posted).

Mellane and I have always wanted to drive the Silver Thread Scenic Byway in the fall because of the massive number of aspen trees along the highway.  The Silver Thread Byway is defined as the 75 mile drive on Hwy. 149 between South Fork and Lake City.  The colors in Pagosa Springs are just now starting to change but much of the colors have peaked on the Silver Thread.  Enjoy the photos and video below and be sure to check out our “All Things Pagosa” Fall coverage from previous autumns as well.

Mellane, Evan, Aviana and my brother Chanse hiked up the Piedra River yesterday and explored the falls around the box canyon.  This is a great hike where you need to cross the river several times to reach the pools.   I had last visited the area back in 2006 before Mellane and I got married.  These falls can be accessed from the campgrounds at the end of Forest Service Road 640.

Below is a video showing me getting ready to jump off the rock walls into two deep pools.
