Here's a shot from Maroon Lake yesterday. There are some flowers in the meadows and lots on the way to the lake along the road, but nothing monumental.
This one looks a little odd due to it being a 30-second exposure at high iso and large aperture, well before sunrise. It was dark enough that I could plainly see the headlamp of at least one climber high up on North Maroon Peak's NE ridge.
Here's a goat that was very cooperative up on Mt. Evans' summit. Burned a lot of pixels on this guy. But, as Dan and Kurt both mentioned, DAMN it was windy up there!
And finally, after getting trapped in yet another jam-up at the construction zone on Trail Ridge Road, we got to the Lava Cliffs overlook and there were 8-10 BIG bull elk with beautifully massive racks that, although they got a little edgy with the traffic and gawking humans, stayed around long enough for some pics.
Holy moly! Another outstanding collection from you! The Bells shots are classic and beauitful. But, where are the other 75 photogs that stand beside me in the fall? Your goat and elk shots are magic, buddy!
There seems to be anough variations of the bells that I never tire of them. The clouds dotting the sky are great and the shot is a classic. Of course, the rest are nice, too. I might go so far as to say, Roy G Biv....the whole spectrum.

I love the first composition of the Bells and the sunset shot.
The long exposure ends up looking ordinary in comparison.
As always, I enjoy seeing wildlife up there that I may never get a chance to see.

Posting a familiar one shortly.
The elks shot is the winner of this bunch, imo!
