Bret, there is still so much freakin' snow in the mountains around here, it's something to behold. And we didn't get all the AZ dust that sped up the melt-off and looked so horrible, like the last two years. This hot weather will start things moving in the right direction, but I won't be surprised if we're still trudging through some snow on the higher trails into July. At least in northern CO.
I was there Friday evening and was impressed by the amount of snow on the Bells, however I was depressed about the small amount of snow around the lake itself after having heard we should expect winter conditions from the USFS. The squashed dried out grasses were not inspiring. So I didn't wait for the morning and drove back across Independence Pass which was truly spectacular with its 8ft-15ft snow banks, the most snow I remember seeing up there since back in 1983 at this time of year.
You got good light on the peaks as wells as some good clouds as is typical for you. Friday and Saturday were clear blue days with a lot of wind, another reason to head back to the Arkansas for some kayaking time
Yeah, sorry 'bout the colors, my laptop is way off, so I usually try to refrain from posting from the road these days. I'll fix and repost if I find time. Going a million miles an hour around here lately!
Todd, that image looks like it is going to be amazing. As someone else mentioned the colors are a bit strange and the contrast a bit strong but I'm sure when you get this back on your calibrated monitor that you'll bring it back to life and have a real winner.

Can't wait to have that crazy northern Colorado snow floating my raft! I'm glad I'm boating in June instead of hiking this year.
Otherwise, I like!
The sky and the snow colors are pretty funky, but I'm sure you'll fix that later.
