It's looking like we will have cold for the next week and more, so I was looking for something warmer. I came across this one that I took last August while we were waiting for the eclipse to start.

Two more great picks Rick. The second one made me smile..what a peaceful spot to watch the eclipse. I'm curious if the animals had any reaction to it?

I didn't notice anything from those in this photo, but shortly before the start of the moon passing, several flocks of birds came from different directions to apparently shelter in the trees in back of the empty farmhouse where we were watching from the front yard. It seemed too well timed to just be a coincidence, and within about 5 minutes, the eclipse began.

The current weather situation in much of the country reminded me of this shot I took some years ago. We got about 7-inches of snow, a rare thing, and I had an Audi allroad quattro, so I was able to get way outside of where most people could go, and got this shot in pristine snow, early in the morning.
BTW, that is not a greyscale image, it is RGB color.

Nice Casey... but I'm already half frozen. Would really rather like to see a picture of crocus' peeking thru.

Nice shot Casey. I've always found winter photography to be difficult. Too many earth tones for my eye. I like natural landscapes, but I like to have at least some happy colors in them too. Winter is too brown in Colorado most of the time.

Not a crocus, but a warmer image. I scanned this shot of lowly dandelion from an Ektachrome transparency I took nearly 40 years ago.
Then a lily in an African river in the Okavongo Delta in Botswana:
And the Colorado State Flower, the Blue Columbine - like the dandelion, shot on transparency film about 40 years ago:

Nice photos, guys. Although your shot is captivating, CD, I prefer RP's right now. When your thermostat seems to be stuck in single-digits, it's nice to be reminded that warmer days will show up again.
Cheryl, we think Loverly is lovely, too. Bonus: she's just as pretty "inside" as she looks. We're very blessed in that we have two kind, compassionate kids.

Maybe I should have posted that photo in August.

YES!
Just remember to post it again then - we'll all feel cooler, right?

Bringing August to you now, or June or July. When we need it most.
Looking at Rick's picture of Colorado Columbines reminded me of our own state flower, A pink and white lady slipper orchid. We had a patch of these growing at our lake place in a bit from the lake shore, through some brush that we couldn't remove because it was considered part of the shore line and in front of some pine trees. It is illegal to pick / alter/ harvest these plants, so we would go stand around them in early summer and ooh and ahh, and shoot photos.
This photo is a google copy of the pink lady slipper.

An oldie but a goodie - Alpine Tundra in the Colorado Rockies - between 11,000 and 12,000 feet up on Mt. Evans:
That looks like home, thanks Rick, it's beautiful.
Wow!! Keep 'em comin' guys. They're beautiful.

Italy is a great place for photography. All I had when I was there was a point and shoot camera... got a few good shots but I wasn't thrilled with a lot of the photos I took there, and jpegs are so much harder to make adjustments on to bring back what I was intending to have in the image.
