Every summer, I try to spend a week in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado when the wildflowers are blooming. This has always been a photography trip and the fly rod has been left behind. Every year though, I question that decision when I see a nice stream or rises in a mirrored lake. Here is a selection of five images from this past July.

Great pictures! Especially like the ones of the columbine. I love hiking the high country, but didn't get out this summer, so I appreciate you sharing your pictures.

Thanks Proud Dad. Like you, I did not get in too much, not enough hiking this summer.

Beautiful! Clear Lake is one of my favorite places.

beautiful pics, thanks for sharing

Looks like a tough life there, but someone has to do it. Great shots in great places.

Nice shots RedRabbit.......
