Fun Friday: Elephants in the Mountains!
Once again, I’m featuring some unexpected animals I found in the Colorado landscape, both along Black Bear Pass and along Mount Evans Road … the Elephant Head wildflowers, also known as Little Pink Elephants (Pedicularis groenlandica).

In this post, I’ll share a few more Mountain Goat (Oreamnos americanus) images I captured along the Mount Evans Highway in Colorado. One of the items on my “shot list” (i.e., “to do” list) was […]
