Went to the Dallas Divide to photograph summer in the area. With the drought I knew wildflowers would be few, but you can't go wrong being at the divide. I did find some flowers but nothing like it could be. Pam and I enjoyed the time spent there, it's such a great place, but it is very dry.

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.

When I visit the Dallas Divide are, it is usually in the fall for it's colors. This location is famous for aspens and snow covered mountains. This time a summer tripe was in order. One good thing was not may photographers were around, I pretty much had the place to my self. My "X Shot" came in the late evening. The sky was as blue as I had ever seen it and that along with all the green, made my image.
