This year’s dry conditions continued through the early summer. As wildfires raged throughout Colorado and the West, the wildflower season had an early and brief appearance. I didn’t get out much to photograph this year’s flower displays so I am posting an image from last year’s impressive bloom in the valleys near Crested Butte.
These columbine flowers under Mount Baldy near Schofield Pass received a nice spotlight from the early morning sun during my July 2011 visit. While there were some nice spots in the state that looked like this in 2012, they were a bit fewer and farther between than in previous years. Another example of the seasonal and year to year phases (ups and downs!) you may experience as a nature photographer.
