Happy Day After Colorado Day!!!
Here's a few shots from this morning. Shot sunset atop Imogene Pass last night, then camped near timberline on the Ouray side. The flowers looked like they were once impressive (mostly goldenrod[?] and larkspur), but are fading fast. Here's a waterfall from up that way.

And here's some coneflowers growing right alongside the road out of Yankee Boy Basin. It's been a very productive trip, starting on Wednesday night on Hermit Pass, ending either tomorrow or Tuesday (Wife-dependent. I don't really want to come home to find all my belongings in trash bags on the front porch and the locks changed!).

I like the flowers, very cheery :smile:
Hey if your wife kicks you out, you could always grow a beard, grab some weed, and hike aimlessly through the Weminuche Wilderness. I bet the photos you'd get would be cooler than that Churchill dude's :biggrin:

Really like how the red rocks really make the flowers stand out.

NIce shots - love the simplicity, color and textures in the coneflower image. It's cool you've had a great business trip ~ enjoy the rest of the journey!

Both are really good, but I like that flower shot with that great background the most.

Like MM I really like the coneflower shot, the contrast between the red rock and yellow works beautifully!.

LIkewise, the flower shot is impressive with that wonderful background. The waterfall is also pretty darn cool!

I like those flowers! I think I stopped and shot the same bunch on the way out of YBB a couple years ago. :cool:

Nice shots, Todd! I like the red rocks as a background to the flowers, they really make them stand out.
