This is John Fielder’s first book of trees since his best-selling A Colorado Autumn (1994).
It includes 66 color photographs of grand sylvan landscapes, lone trees, and forest details such as fallen leaves or the eye-shaped patterns on Aspen holes.

Steve Smith’s thoughtful discussion on forest ecology and the human relationship to our woodlands accompanies this focus on the aesthetic attributes of Colorado’s trees.
