As we were headed back from a beautiful hike, we decided to stop one more time to snag some photos in the forest of yellow aspens.  It was easy to get mesmerized by the sun cutting through the trees while illuminating the individual Aspen leaves on the trees.  As I walked around to take some more photos, I looked down to set up my tripod and noticed the dew sitting on the leaves of the ground.  I zoomed in and took this photo of the water laying wonderfully on the top of the leaf and the sun cutting through trees, while the shade offered the perfect contrast to the scene.  Sometimes we are lucky enough to find the subtle beauty in the world around us if we are willing to slow down to see it.
