Last week I was able to get up to Maroon Bells for a quick morning photo. Sadly, I was too late to capture the fall color, but I was pleased to have a full moon in the sky to make up for it! This area is beautiful most anytime of year. #PureColorado

Sunflower Fields Forever
Just east of Denver for a couple weeks each year the farmers plant sunflowers. These hardy plants can survive with little water. They grow quite tall and the blooms are huge. It’s no wonder they are so popular. When they bloom, hoards of people come out to the fields to enjoy them and take pictures. It has actually become a hazard. Many thoughtless people trample are cut the flowers down without giving thought to the owner of the fields. I wish the farmers would unite and sell Sunflower Licenses (i.e. like a Hunting/Fishing license) to limit the destruction and to allow responsible people to enjoy the fields up close. I realize that would take a lot of man-power to police, but I would pay for the priviledge and I know many others who would too! In the meantime, we line the road enjoying the view! Thank you farmers for planting these magnificient specimens!

A Lone Tree
The ancient tree is a Bristle Cone Pine, known to be one of earth’s oldest living plants. This particular tree grows alone, apart from the others, making it a perfect object to photograph. The views are magnificent in any direction. You can find this tree at the top of the tree line on Mt. Evans. If you visit, be sure to bring your camera!
