san juan mountains

While shooting in Colorado on CR 7 in the San Juan Mountains not far from Ridgway, the sunset turned epic in pretty short order. While I had shot the clouds with Mt Sneffel in the composition, I couldn't ignore this hillside just to the left. While there are no mountains in view at this angle...

Well, the title actually may not make a lot of sense, but the sunset did kind of pick up and snowball itself into something pretty cool. And this was the day after the first dusting of snow on the peaks which we had been not so patiently waiting for. So this is Mt Sneffels in the San Juan...

Colorado - San Juan Mountains - Ouray County Road 5 - Video Travel Guide Creating Travel Guides is something that I have desired and done to a limited degree in the past. This last summer though it hit me that doing a Video Travel Guide as opposed to using just still photos is the real...

As I further explored Blaine Basin in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado I saw a waterfall in the distance beneath Mt Sneffels so I started hiking in that direction. As the stream started curving the wildflowers were abounding all around. I didn't have much time because the sun was soon to set...

Blue Lake Basin get's all the press, and it appears that from the Blue Lakes Basin trailhead that 99% of people take it to the Blue Lakes. But just as the trail starts out from the trailhead, there is another trail that veers off to the North and it leads to Blaine Basin. I have walked past that...

This is my first post on this site, so this is a bit of an experiment to see if I'm doing this right. This is the trail that I met our host Jim Fox on and who introduced me to FocalWorld. Feel free to critique the image. Due to time constraints I put photography on hold for several years so now...

My wildflower hunting in Colorado this summer took me up to one of my normal haunts, Blue Lakes in the San Juan Mountains. This is actually the far end of Middle Blue Lakes, there is a really nice field of flowers with lot's of Columbine here. I didn't get to shoot too long though as not long...

I am SO OVER SUMMER. Heading to Colorado again next month, but this time with some buddies from Portland, and for 8+/- days; and hope I don't hit a 3 point deer on the way, like I did last year that ruined my trip (at least it was in a rental and only cost me $100). Anyways, this was more of a...

Another from Yankee Boy Basin in the San Juan's in Colorado. The hope was to get wildflowers captured along with the waterfalls. It was rainy and overcast. I kept this one in Color, one of the reasons I had converted the previous shot to B&W is that the greens with all that moisture were just so...

I am finally getting to processing some of my Ice Lake Basin photos from this last summer. Ice Lakes Basin is an area of some high altitude lakes that in the summer have just an out of this world wildflower display that can be contrasted with beautiful turquoise green colored waters. It's a 4 or...
