科罗拉多州全彩(Colorado in full colour)
细长的白色树干伸向天空,即使在最温和的微风中,树叶也在飘动——白杨树是美国荒野的象征。这些树分布在西部各州,特别是犹他州和科罗拉多州,是北美分布最广的本土物种。它们的秋叶令人叹为观止,叶子变成了鲜艳的黄色,照亮了整个风景,正如今天在科罗拉多州大理石附近拍摄的照片所示。阿斯彭不仅美丽,而且在生物学上也很迷人。它们生长在源自单一根系的大型群落中,使其成为地球上最大的生物体之一。

Slender white trunks reaching skyward and leaves fluttering even in the gentlest breeze—aspen trees are a symbol of the American wilderness. Found across the western states, especially in Utah and Colorado, these trees are the most widespread native species in North America. Their autumn foliage is breathtaking, with their leaves turning a vibrant yellow that lights up the landscape, as seen in today's photo, which was taken near Marble, Colorado. Aspens are not only beautiful but also biologically fascinating. They grow in large colonies that originate from a single root system, making them some of the largest living organisms on Earth.
