Stormy Monday

Spring storms seem to be prevalent this week as ominous clouds build over the ever arid landscape of the high desert plateau of western Colorado. A stormy Monday might not be such a bad thing for a landscape in search of a drink.

At the end of a nice hike we were greeted by the sun poking through the junipers and pinion pine illuminating one of my favorite wildflowers, painted brush. It always feels good to see these flowers glowing in the sun light as spring and summer arrive.
