Description
I love aspen trees all year round -- their slim white trunks, their silver dollar leaves that shimmer in the wind -- but in the fall, they are at their absolute most beautiful! And I really love the abstract look of aspen trunk reflections rippling in the water, and tried to capture that in this photo.
Aspen are noted for their ability to regenerate vegetatively by shoots and suckers arising along their long lateral roots. Root sprouting results in many genetically identical trees, in aggregate called a "clone". All the trees in a clone have identical characteristics and share a root structure. A clone may turn color earlier or later in the fall or exhibit a different fall color variation than its neighboring aspen clones, thus providing a means to tell them apart. Aspen clones can be less than an acre and up to 100 acres in size. There can be one clone in an aspen grove or there can be many.
Photo taken on September 25, 2018, in Southwest Colorado.
