The Columbines are Out

[AlanLichty]

We have some columbines starting their blooms in our backyard so I grabbed my camera for a couple of portraits of the late spring blooms.

C&C always welcome.

I had heard that Columbines came in different colors. I am used to them only being a pink color up here in the Rockies.

Thanks Jim - we have more colors to come. These are some of the first ones to bloom this year in our back yard.

Nice mix of yellows and purples. I like the blurred background that makes these blooms stand out.

Thanks Jameel - shooting with a 100-400mm helps with the OOF background.

That sounds easier then how I have to get to them. Mine I have to hike up to the 10,000 to 11,000 elevation before I see any. A bit more work for me, and less colors.
