I’ve been waiting all summer for this sunset and it couldn’t have come at a  better time. The wildflowers are still at their peak which is unusual for this time of year especially in the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado. It was especially nice because my son had come along and decided to literally run up a 13K peak to catch the sunset. He made it with plenty of time to spare and I was fortunate to be able to see and photograph his tiny silhouette as he stood at the edge of a massive cliff. There he was, basking in God’s spotlight. His view was certainly better than mine as he could see the Grenadiers off to the South and many other peaks in all directions. I was content in the beautiful wildflower field dazzling with many bright colors in all directions.   A cherished moment in time!

Last weekend we were fortunate to capture the San Juan Mountains wildflowers at their peak at several locations.  To make it even better, we ran into a beautiful Bighorn Sheep who cooperated very well having his picture taken. It was a weekend to remember!

I added five new pictures to my gallery if you are interested. Thanks for viewing my site and hope you are having a great summer capturing God’s beautiful creation!

The wildflowers are the best I’ve ever seen in the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado.  They are peaking below 11,000′ and are still coming out above 12,000′. The weather calls for clear skies the next week which takes out the sunset but at least I won’t get struck by lighting or hailed on.

I hope all of you are enjoying the wildflower season!
Thanks for viewing this!
