Aspen Forest


The aspen trees here in Colorado are really interesting. These trees grow in groups and share a root system, making them a single organism.

Their leaves are round and about two inches accross. When the wind blows they sort of rattle together making an interesting sound. Another interesting point if you haven't seen these trees before is their white bark.

From what I have seen these trees are really a site to behold in the fall when their leaves turn colors. Jenny and I will be making another excursion to check out the leaves later this year.
