When it's fall and the leaves are bright and yellow, we all want to
spend some time walking and enjoying these vibrant colors and the
feeling of fall... Especially when the days are still warm and the sky
is blue :)
And one of the better places to find some fall colors is a small town of Golden. It got its name from gold mines, but every fall the golden leaves add another meaning, and golden Golden is the best definition of the town...
Last Saturday we went there early in the afternoon, when the sun
was rolling down and adding some additional warmth to the bright yellow
and orange leaves. So... we just strolled along the streets without any
purpose... just for the sake of enjoying fresh air and vibrant colors.
The town is small, so it only took a few minutes to get to Clear
Creek and walk along it, enjoying the blue sky, the shallow but still fast stream and the
bright colors marking the creek banks...
We stepped down to stay near the water and returned back to the
trail... We looked up and down the stream and... had no plans other than
to have a good time...
We walked under Main street (hmm... under the bridge, I guess) and turned around just to see how beautiful the view was!
And... it was Saturday in Golden, so... it's hard not to find a wedding posing for photos and... there were
actually
two weddings there that wanted to take some memorable pictures :)
We crossed the creek and turned onto Main street, where we stopped at a restaurant to have dinner before heading home...
Just a couple of hours there, and we felt refreshed and ready to be
back to bustling Denver... But as we left, we agreed that we needed to
do this again... maybe even next weekend, before the snow and winter
chill killed the leaves and changed the landscape from bright and
inviting to dull and wintry...
The pictures were taken on October 26, 2024.
