A fiery sky over a field of Lupines in the Gore Range, Colorado
The skies have been extremely hazy lately due to the wildfires in California and locally near Kremmling. The air has a strong scent of camp fire. It may be somewhat difficult to tell from this photo, but this entire basin had a low hanging haze similar to fog. Typically the field next to the cabin holds a nice collection of assorted wildflowers that peak in late July / early August, but this year they were all gone aside from these last patches of Fireweed.
Mid summer backpacking trip near Aspen, Colorado in the Collegiate Range. I had no knowledge of wildflowers in this area. It rained a fair amount this day so we spent most of the day hunkered down in the tent, but there was a nice calm short window around sunset. The bees buzzed around as I tried to position things without affecting them or the flowers.
