Ok, I've managed to get several photos processed and into a web page here.

This one is another in the Imogene Pass area.

Hopefully I can get out little more this summer, we'll see how it goes.

Just showing the gallery but c&c welcome if something jumps out at ya.

Thanks for looking.

Nice series, Chuck! I really like the two Silverjack shots, the paintbrush with cow's parsnip, and the tight closeup of the columbine from the front! Good work!

Wow Chuck, what a series! I pretty much love 'em all. Your intimate shots are just as good as the wide vistas! Favorites are the volcanic pinnacles/clouds shot, Imogene Pass shots, and I really love the paintbrush portrait! The Falls near Silver Jack with the bluebells in the foreground is marvelous but the water looks too blue to me. I'd pull that back some and it'd be perfection :toast:

Great series Chuck...I'm loving that first Silverjack shot.

Wow, great set, Chuck! I cant pick a fav--theyre all great! :toast:

Although it doesn't have flowers in it, that pinnacles shot from Owl Creek Pass steals the show-stunner! As far as others, I like the glow at YBB and the paintbrush shot from YBB as well, but love the variety-nice post!

Yes! Excellent collection. The paintbrush portrait is my favorite. The evening glow in Yankee Boy is probably second. The wildflowers in the second image are Sky Pilot - love 'em!

LOVE the evening YBB glow, any time you can be there at sunset and it isn't raining/hailing is a treasure. The foggy silverjack shot is really cool too.

The paintbrush at YBB caught my attention the most. Nice comp, especially with the broad leaves set to the right.
The fog in the volcanic spires is also very nice.

Thanks y'all!
Thanks for the ID on the Sky Pilot Scott, at least I was in the right genus.

Pam, that shot was real blue to start with, needs to go a bit further I'm thinking too, in the water anyway.

That's a great set, Chuck! Among others, I really like the twin paintbrush shot, the little waterfall near Silverjack, and those columbine portraits (all but the last two, which are fine, but not as strong and artsy as the others).
Posted by John Mumaw on August 1, 2010 at 2:52 PM
Almost every single one of these is a winner (Gov. Basin being the exception, IMO)!
I especially like 'Evening Glow in YBB'.
Posted by Morris McClung on August 1, 2010 at 4:19 PM
Those are stellar shots! All are done very well. The Jacob's Ladder is a Sky Pilot, I think.

I like them all, but hte Siver Jack one is the stand out for me. Very nice collection!
Posted by Kurt Bowman on August 2, 2010 at 9:56 AM
Chuck, this entire series is extremely awesome! Very hard to say what I like best....maybe the waterfalls...always have a thing for water.

Had to go to page 3 to find this thread again!
Thanks for the comments again y'all.

John, I go back and forth on the Governor Basin shot. Some non-photographers like it, so I put it in the set. I may take it out.
