Description

Original Fine Art Photography and digital artwork by Donna Kennedy
Photographed in Fishlake National Forest...
Enjoying the beauty of the forest I spotted a small band of deer, as soon as they heard me they all leaped off in a series of stiff-legged jumps, including a big buck, but this curious doe decided to stay and see what I was doing long enough for me to get a few shots. 0323

Fishlake National Forest is a U.S. National Forest located in central Utah. The namesake for the forest is Fish Lake, the largest freshwater mountain lake in the state.
Established in 1907, the forest covers 1.5 million acres and is split into four districts. The forest lies in parts of nine counties.
Aspens stand 40-70 feet in height, with a smooth white trunk 1-2 feet in diameter. The tree is deciduous, with leaves that are rounded and shine bright green until they turn yellow in the fall. Two-inch catkins flower in very early spring, producing small narrow cones that split to release copious amounts of tiny, cottony seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Reproduction, however, is almost entirely vegetative, with suckers sprouting from existing root systems, the Aspen is a Clone. The Quaking Aspen is named for its leaves, which shake easily in even a gentle breeze and produce a fluttering sound with only the slightest provocation.
