Flowers on trail move in strong mountain afternoon winds.
On Black Powder Pass Trail, above Boreas Pass. Western Bistort and one of my favorite photos of the whole vacation: shows both detail and soft texture of flower with a traditional out-of-focus portrait background.
On Black Powder Pass, looking down into the South Park Grasslands. Sunday, August 9. A cloud shadow has been cast by the late afternoon sun down onto the hills that ring the South Park Grasslands. The Black Powder Pass is at 12,100+ feet and I understand you can see Pike's Peak from here.
