Journey to the center of the sunflower

I know your mother told you to never look directly into the sun but this time it’s ok…really. I bet you can feel the heat coming off it right now.

Monday Moose

On August 22, 2016August 22, 2016 By Mike and Christy15 Comments

While near the end of a recent hike, just tromping along which that feeling that being almost back at the car brings, we ran across this male Moose quietly munching away on the remaining summer greens. We had spent the day trying to take close-ups of the remaining summer wildflowers flowers so the 105 mm macro lens was on the camera. Good thing this guy was so close.

Glacier Lilly

Up high in the mountains where the snow is just melting the Glacier Lilies are starting to appear. The dark green background made for a fun conversion to BW as the sunlight gently illuminates the petals of this wonderful flower.

In a spot, a favorite spot, one that never fails to deliver a hillside full of sunny goodness along the trail. Near Crested Butte, CO.

Towards Gothic

Looking out across a field of Fireweed towards Gothic Mountain on an early fall afternoon. Blue skies and the pines swaying gently in the wind made for a great hike. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Up To Cinnamon

Not a cloud in the sky, the air crisp yet warm and a touch of fall color on the mountainside. Couldn’t ask for a better day. Looking up to the summit of Cinnamon Mountain in Central Colorado.
