Arnica Dream
The Heartleaf Arnica is an abundant wildflower in the Colorado high country. During the months of July and August, large patches often paint forest floors and open meadows with bright, sunshiny yellow. And they constantly dance, sway and shake in the cool mountain breeze. The happy Arnica is one of the images that sticks with me, reminding me of summer, as the season begins its turn to fall.

Hornsilver Mountain offers a spectacular, sweeping panorama of the rugged Gore Range.
Gore Range Panorama
Its located directly west of Shrine Pass and at a similar elevation. A number of my photographer friends have recently posted gorgeous images from Shrine Pass, so I had a hunch that this location might be blooming as well. And at just over 3 hours from Denver, it made for a nice afternoon and evening exploration. The wildflowers were, indeed, spectacular.
McAllister Gulch Wildflowers
I spent several hours in the late afternoon photographing the wildflowers and scouting locations for a sunset image.
