Found mostly in colder regions with cool summers, the Aspen is well known as a beautiful tree to photograph during Autumn. Whether you appreciate the minimalist or even abstract views of the bark and trunk, the up close detail of the intricate Aspen leaf, or the stunning views of the changing colors of the groves up against the mountains, there are plenty of opportunities year-round to take a great pictures of Aspens. Here is a selection of leaf and tree images to help inspire different compositions of the Aspen. Feel free to upload your photos from this fall (or anytime) to our Flickr group for all to see and a chance to get it featured on TPA in the future.
