That First Step is a Dilly!
Today’s post features an image I captured at the top of Mount Evans, Colorado, a few years ago.

This group was captured at Summit Lake, about 5 miles from the summit: I love catching about any wildlife in wildflowers. The contrast of the wildflowers and the wildlife always makes the […]
