Aspen trees in the fall are beautiful from far away and up close. I’m featuring autumn portraits of aspens in central and eastern Oregon.

A far away aspen stand glowing in a blaze of color on Hart Mountain.

Moving in closer to… an aspen-lined meadow at Aspen Day Use Area near Dillon Falls.

Taking a step closer to… a golden-leaved aspen in Pine Nursery Park in Bend.

Edging in closer to… the many-eyed bark of aspen trees in the Old Mill District of Bend.

Focusing up close on… frosty aspen leaves near Sunriver Nature Center.
