Description

I love aspen trees -- their shimmering silver dollar leaves, and their long, white trunks -- they are just so beautiful. This photo was taken in the late afternoon, in the fall, when the sun is low and the light is beautiful. The low sun lit up the trees with a golden light.

This is an in-camera photo abstract, done with a slow shutter and moving the camera slightly up the tree trunks.

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.
