Okay photographers...

Driving to work today, I stopped for a bit to watch elk calves and moms at Evergreen Lake.

Mount Evans - Fathers Day 2012

















The dome blew off the observatory in Feb/March this year

Great photos at Mount Evans PF! I personally love Alpine Spring Beauties and Alpine Forget-Me-Not wildflowers. Did you know the Spring beauty has a really deep root? The root is much like a carrot and extends several feet below the alpine terrain. Bristlecone Pine is quite magnificent as well by having life that exceeds 2,000 years. Some species of Bristlecone have been known to live for 5,000 years, making it the oldest living species known to man on earth. Cool stuff. I love the Alpine climate because it displays that life can survive in very extreme weather conditions at high altitude. |=C=|

You take the most amazing pictures! Thank you for sharing.

Off to Black Hills S.D. in a few weeks and then to WI. Pics to follow.

Have a great trip PF! We are going to Wisconsin too in a couple weeks too! I'll keep an eye out for the squirrel with the camera!

Here is a fascinating story about Camping at Colorado 14-ers from the Denver Post. Sounds like a great book too!

Black hills was one of my favorite vacation with the kids. We went three years in a row once. Go to the night program at mount rushmore. I just love it up there. We always stayed in Custer.
