Estes Park
We had some days filled with wildfire smoke, making photography difficult, but these gorgeous ponderosa pines still looked wonderful despite the smoke. I just love the way each tree has a different shade of trunk in this light and how a couple of trees are just so different from all of the others, breaking the mold and bringing an extra touch of beauty into the forest.
