The Search For Wile E. Coyote - a photo on Flickriver

            I spent a nice afternoon wandering the Crestone area on a glorious autumn day, taking photos and enjoying the weather.  Before sunset I headed to the North Crestone Creek campground and trailhead where the colors were peaking.  I usually shoot upstream when picturing creeks but I shot downstream for this shot in order to capture the backlit aspen forest and the sunset reflected in the water.  I managed to take this shot without falling in the icy cold creek.  If you look closely at this shot you can see, clinging to a low branch above a rock, some ice in the shape of the head of the Wile E. Coyote cartoon character who could never seem to catch the Road Runner.
