Donald loved the Autumn colors in this area, and painted at least a half dozen paintings incorporating Autumn Aspens or Autumn trees. However, he also liked the Spring and painted a painting titled "Spring Greens and Dandelion Lawns" in 1956. This is one of the many paintings residing with family or friends somewhere. Donald also saw the darker side of this region, which is always susceptible to forest fires. Very wet, snowy Winters lead to heavy Spring growth, which then turns tinder dry during hot summers. He painted several paintings showing the charred remains left behind from forest fires.
