Ken Papaleo: X Marks the Shot: July 2018

Colorado - Dallas Divide Rainbows and Moon Rise.

Shutter Speed - 1/60 sec.

Lens - 70/200 zoom

We went to the Dallas Divide on a photo shoot. With the drought down there, we didn't think the flowers would be very good! But if their not around, how can you go wrong with the Dallas Divide by itself. We were right, flowers pretty much sucked, but when you have a full moon and a number of rainbows, you go home a happy camper. I did find some flowers and other scenics that will be in the next blog.

With the dry weather I wasn't sure what the flowers on Shrine Pass would look like. Pam and I headed out about 3pm from our Evergreen Home. The pass is about a 2 hour drive. Arriving at the pass we found a nice selection of wildflowers. The Indian Paintbrush were plentiful and made some nice images. We didn't have to do much hiking, everything was near the road.

Guanella Pass is about one hour away from my home. I wanted to see what kind of wildflowers were up there. Pam and I went there twice, once in the morning and again late afternoon. I did not find any fields of flowers, but small groups or individual plants could be found easily. We even saw a moose!

If your not into flowers you could always go hiking with about a hundred of your newest friends. Check out the last photo, it was shot on a Friday morning at 7:30 am.
