I've never seen the glacier lilies as robust as they are this spring---this is on a hillside next to Howelsen Hill, within the city limits of Steamboat Springs.

Great shots! I wish I could make my way up there.

I could be wrong here but I think I'd like to see a lower level, looking more across the field than down on it. The second shot is great though.

I really like that second one, Rod.

Very nice. I like the second one also.

Jack---any way you look at it, including this lower angle---there's a proliferation, but I like my first better than this....

#2 is wonderful, I didn't realize glacier lilies grew at such a low altitude. I've only seen them above 9000feet.

WOW, that is a spectacular display of blossoms !

Very purty, Rod!

I've never seen that many glacier lilies together. Nice find Rod!

That's a lot of yella! Much better than the fields of dandelions around here. Cool find.

Looks great Rod. Really like #2 and the horizontal. Bet you spent some time there.

What a field of flowers! Nice shots, I really like the 2nd one of the field.
