Album Wildflowers

[IntrepidXJ]

It's that time of the year again in the mountains. Actually it's a few weeks early this year because of the dismal snowpack. I headed out this weekend to try and photograph some wildflowers and thought that maybe we should have an album here for our wildflower photos.

It's not that time of year at the moment with fresh snow coming down, but as I'm going through all my wildflower photos again lately I'll start sharing them here as I do.

I really like those px of the simple little flowers. The obscured & very worthy back ground takes a back seat to seldom noticed flowers.

I'm going back to 2008 on these ones. I didn't notice the spider in the sego lilly until I pulled the photos off the card.

That spider is awesome!

 

[Antlerking]

One of my favorites!

A few more from back in 2006.
