wildflowers

In the local hills that I run in, I have been watching the wildflowers slowly pick up and make their display. These are not very impressive flowers, nothing exotic, but they do cover an area really well. So on Friday when I ran, though it was still a bit stormy out, I made sure to run with the...

Please use this thread to report any wildflower sightings. I expect this thread to be active from March until August as wildflowers will start blooming early in the desert and late up in the high altitude mountains. :) Please include the following Information in your Report. 1. Date 2...

Rolling out a Carpet of Wildflowers that is. :) This is in the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado up at Yankee Boy Basin at sunset. Not a lot of clouds at sunset as the earlier storm clouds we almost gone, but the majority that was left was behind me. But I liked that peak being lit up and the...

That is summertime in Yankee Boy Basin in SW Colorado. You want to call it springtime but it's actually summertime when the wildflowers bloom in the high altitudes of the mountain basins. All comments are welcome, Jim

Three Sisters and Three Brothers. Can you find them? This is from Delta, Colorado while shooting wildflowers this summer. A local farmer always plants sunflowers, not always in the same place though. I had a nice time shooting the field and also chatting with the farmer. I did not go into the...

This is the Road to Governor's Basin which is south and at a higher elevation then Yankee Boy Basin. It's a narrow one way road for much of the drive, so careful driving with keeping an eye looking ahead but also making mental notes of where possible pull outs are become a very valuable trait...

This is from Yankee Boy Basin as the sun had set and the twilight was lighting up the clouds and peaks a bit. It was a beautiful time to be out and the wildflowers made for a great carpet. There was no one else but me there, so I had the whole basin to play around and run around in as the light...

As you head up to Yankee Boy Basin in SW Colorado outside of Ouray, you have an option to head South and up to get to Governor Basin. Now Governor Basin is a lot less traveled then Yankee Boy Basin, the road spends a lot of time being on the edge of a cliff and only single lane, so it can be a...

From a few weeks ago in Yankee Boy Basin outside of Ouray Colorado, I found the place just carpeted with wildflowers. It was pretty crazy, every color imaginable was there. All comments are welcome, Jim

From a week ago up at Blue Lakes in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. This is on the trail leading up to the Middle lake and looking down on the Lower lake. I hiked up to the lower Lake with Amy, and then I ran up to this location while Amy was exploring the Lower lake area and she was...

Had an awesome hike to Shrine pass area early morning today, lost some sleep, but it was worth!

This is from yesterday taking a drive up from Grand Teton to take the grandkids up to Yellowstone. This in the northern part of the Tetons and once I saw the scene alongside the road I had to stop and spend a few minutes exploring. Taken with the Sony A6400 and edited on the iPhone. All...

I had a quick visit to Crested butte last weekend, Lupines were on prime, but it was unfortunate that trail 403 is still closed from last winters blessings. most of this pics are from Snodgrass trail.

This was my last morning in Crested Butte a couple weekends ago. One of my favorite places to go frolicking in the flowers. CC welcome! New Edit

While hunting Dogwood Blooms around Yosemite Valley 2 months ago, I came across this Solitary Sojourner. It's solitary life really spoke to me. This is shot at f5.6 to isolate the bloom from the ground. I shot it at f13, f8, f5.6 and f4. And I ended up with f5.6 when I could review back here at...

Ok, maybe not gold but sometimes you hit a jackpot weekend! Spent some time in SW CO and well my home away from home. Started in Ouray and San Jan Mountains but later on Saturday afternoon went to Crested Butte. Well all I can say is WILDFLOWER season in in full effect here in Colorado...

One of my favorite things is taking macro shots! I just love how intimate they feel. CC welcome!

It's not only starting to feel like summer its starting to look like it too! A little gem on the side of the road on the way to Telluride.

Hey guys! Glad to find some time for the forum. Here is one taken in March with my friend Avi, at Ruhama, it took a while to get to this one, cause i had a certain vision for this, and it required some mental preparation to work on it... _DSC3011-SV12g by lionking posted Jun 17, 2019 at 9:12...

This is Factory Butte from the south as you drive in. What I like is it lets you see the west side of it. 95% of all shots of Factory Butte I think are taken further north on the road so you are shooting the east side of it. As Ben and I returned from exploring Cow Dung Road I asked Ben to stop...
