We were up high in the mountains a week or two ago and much to our surprise there were numerous butterflies going about their business even as the nights have been cold and the flowers have long died out for this season. Must be slim pickings this time of year for this wonderful comma butterfly foraging on Lichen, Rocks and Spruce.
Photographed near treeline in Rocky Mountain National Park.
More fall colors up high in the mountains of Central Colorado. Aspens are glowing down below so it’s time to get out and get a few photos.
When the wind blows lenticulars form.
The Tundra turns orange.
The rocks await another year of snow.
Floating down the Snake River at the feet of giants with their heads up in the clouds. The Teton range is a majestic sight even on an overcast September day.
Stormy skies ushering in the colors of fall up above tree-line in the Elk Mountains of Central Colorado.
On a cloudy day a hike into the misty mountains yields much needed nature therapy. At first there is resistance but once the feet hit the trail and the rain jacket put on it all seems to feel just right.
Looking up into the San Juan mountains from the comfort of a small cabin on a rainy day. We got soaked on our hike that morning.
Painted brush are just so cool. They are a companion on my yearly wanderings. In spring they are blooming in the deserts and foothills and they follow me along into the high mountains in the peak of summer. So many colors, the fuzz, and the shape, I just might have to post more as the summer progresses as every new photo becomes an old friend.
Braided streams flowing off a glacier. Many divergent yet parallel paths all flowing towards the sea.
Good things happened when I pointed the trusty old black holga towards the peaks near Daisy Pass in Central Colorado on an early fall day. Holga 120N and Kodak Tmax film.
