Springtime In The Rockies
Springtime in the Colorado Rockies, a time of the year which I have always loved. Recently went up to the Mount Evans Wilderness area to try and capture the change of the seasons and to see if winter was still holding on. In some places it certainly was, to say the least. Though Spring was certainly in the air and the combination of the 2 seasons made for some interesting conditions. What astonished me was a couple tourists wading through the river where I shot the long exposure shots at....folks that water is freezing cold! Probably barely above freezing, and the result of spring melt off from the mountains....no thanks I will pass with doing that anytime soon in bare feet! A great time though, and it was nice to experience the resulting conditions!

I love those golden colors of the rocks! This is definitely one of my favorite times of the year as well, I am so enthralled with the first signs of buds on leaves and bushes and then the "plugged in" colors and translucency of new leaves! I got some great shots so far, but we have had a near constant deluge of clouds and rain for weeks, so had very little shooting op.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nance! Yeah it really is a transition of seasons right now, and it is one of my favorite times of the year without question!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots John. The same is occurring here in the Canadian Rockies. Spring has finally arrived. It doesn't take long for the valleys and hillsides to be transformed. Love it
