wildflowers

I haven't seen Glacier Lillies often maybe only once after seeing theses this weekend. I love capturing files of flowers but I also love capturing these little moments. CC Welcome!

A couple weekends ago I went down to SW CO. Hiked a couple 14ers and make a stop to one of my favorite hikes and places in CO. The wildflowers have been so pretty this year! cc welcome!

Before you get to Yankee Boy Basin in SW Colorado, there is a turn off for Imogene Pass, and pretty tough 4x4 trail. There also happens to be a nice area to photograph Sneffels Creek there with wildflowers. So every time I go up to Yankee Boy, I stop here to work this little area. This is from...

This was from last month in Yankee Boy Basin in SW Colorado just out of Ouray Colorado. It was storming and raining with thunder going off almost overhead. I had a short window when it was only slightly raining to photograph and video. In between I ran back into my Jeep to sit out the hail...

I sacrificed a bit of blood for this one. I had gone to local nature preserve to run before it got dark, the sky was completely cloudy, but there was a spot of orange in the sky from the sun. I was expecting it to probably just stay like that, but as I pulled into the preserve that area of the...

It's not about the wildflowers or the bees or butterflies, it's about the journey. So take a short journey with me as we travel down a path. All comments are welcome, Jim

Up on Last Dollar Road there were lot's of wildflowers that just couldn't be fenced in! Nikon D7100 - 590nm IR Not Channel Swapped All comments are welcome, Jim

This was also from a couple weekends ago. Lupine has become a favorite of mine...but then again I have many favorites! CC welcome.

Last weekend I meet Jim down in SW CO. This was on our last day hanging out. Was fun to see some wildlife out! CC welcome.

Up on Last Dollar Road, they may be running out of dollars, but not flowers! It was interesting to watch this deer walk slowly through this field of flowers and never stopping once, just on a slow pace. All comments are welcome, Jim

With the Sound of Wildflowers. :) This summer I took the grandkids over to Steamboat Springs for some exploring. It's an area I had not been to in years, so I didn't remember what it would look like with wildflowers and then I also wanted to scout a bit and see what potential it would have for...

I saw Alan's The Path Inside https://focalworld.com/threads/the-path-inside.13907/ and thought I can do a little twist on it, my apologies Alan. :) This is from my backpacking trip up to Ice Lake Basin in SW Colorado a month ago. This is on the trail to Island Lake. Once I hit about 12,000 feet...

This was one of the highlights of my trip next to getting a photograph with the famous wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelson! While in the park my mom and I were getting ready to turning off Teton Park Rd. to go to Colter Bay Area. I saw an emergency vehicle coming towards us so I waited for...

This is back from a month ago south of Joshua Tree and not far from Indio California. I liked the arrangement when I saw the 3 lined up like this. I even went with a pano crop which is not normal for me. All comments are welcome, Jim

This was from a month ago or so, from below Joshua Tree National Park which was closed. This is an area of BLM land with the city of Indio not too far off. It was over a 100 degrees that day, but in the early morning after shooting Astro and Milky Way all night, I walked out into the desert a...

This is from a few days back up by the Antelope Valley Poppy Preserve area. I don't usually get low to the ground when I shoot, but I did a little bit with this one. All comments are welcome, Jim #1 - Original #2 - Brighter

Well, a Poppy sunrise that is. After a long night of Milky Way and Deep Astro shooting, this sunrise was a welcome gift. The Poppies are still closed because the sun isn't up yet, but I still think they look cool as when they are closed up they look like orange tulips to me. :) This was taken...

Our Focus this Friday is on Wildflower Landscapes! With the Coronavirus you may not have gotten out to capture wildflowers this year, so this may call for archive diving. I was fortunate I went out 2 nights ago into the desert to capture Deep Space Astro between Indio and Joshua Tree. So though...

There was a small wildfire that came through this area last year. Fortunately they caught it fast because the whole area is surrounded by houses. I run by this all the time, but the other day the tree looked like it was dancing. Or maybe I have just been locked up too long.... All comments are...

Looks like there was or is a fence theme going. I will contribute to that! CC Welcome
