RE: Exploring Eastern Sierras, California: Quaking Aspens
Great colors and scenery! What a beautiful place!
The quaking aspen is my favorite tree. At my childhood home, we had a very small field covered with them.
I can still remember spending time under them with my late mother, and I can surely still hear them rustle in the wind.
Thank you for the great photos, and for triggering some fantastic memories.
Thank you Tim! I was flipping through the photos on my phone (actually after reading one of your posts with the great fall colors) and thought I'd share. I already had fall on my mind because of you! I do love that rustling sound, it's quiet and comforting and a little eery at the same time. Do you remember the smell? I couldn't describe it.
Ha!
The smell..well, thats a tough one to put into words. Fresh, crisp, clean is what comes to mind. Not sure how else to say it. I’m going to have to google the aspen and see how others describe it. It is not a scent that is encountered often in nature. At least for me, it is not.
