SHOT 10/3/22 7:49:53 AM - A stand of aspen trees changing colors amidst morning fog just outside of Avon, Colorado. Aspens turn golden as the amount of daylight slowly decreases every fall, switching off the mechanism in the leaves that creates chlorophyll. Aspen trees are all native to cold regions with cool summers extending south at high-altitude areas such as mountains or high plains. The Quaking Aspen of North America is known for its leaves turning spectacular shades of red and yellow in the autumn every year. This causes forests of aspen trees to be noted tourist attractions every fall in Colorado and across the Western US. (Photo by Marc Piscotty / © 2022)
