Found some columbine
I guess I always thought columbine were in the high country as opposed to down here, but the other day I found a large quantity of them just outside Colorado Springs.

Very nice composition Bob! Clone out those dead pine needles and I could see that hanging on my wall!

We've grown them successfully in our yard; they can definitely thrive in lower elevations depending on the soil type. I think I recall them growing naturally at Chautauqua, too. Nice shot here, Bob - a very healthy and vibrant looking pair. Tack sharp, too. Nice!

Thanks guys! Ken, I thought about cloning out the dead needles, but I thought that the little bit of red there added something to the shot. I may clone them out and see which I like better.
