Even with the flowers long gone the hollyhocks that remain standing are still beautiful to look at.

Fall Asters

The aster in fall is my favorite. The flower petals are just drying up and the colors are faded but present. Each flower seems to be directly pointing to the cycle that is life.

There is nothing more beautiful than a great sunset. The same could be said of wildflowers. Photographed on a hike near Schofield pass CO.

I really like these flowers for their 3 dimensional nature and as summer winds down I really wanted to post another wildflower photo. Taken up high in rustlers gulch near Crested Butte, CO.

Found this beautiful fuzzy little moth warming up in the morning sun up near timberline while hiking on a cool summer morning. All that fuzz must help keep her and perhaps her little ant friend warm through the night.
