It was fairly calm on this morning back in July when I photographed this group of wildflowers as the run rose over the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. The dominant flowers are Rosy Paintbrush (aka Split-Leaf Indian Paintbrush or Spliteaf Indian Paintbrush, Castilleja rhexifolia), Alpine Avens (aka Ross's Avens, Acomastylis rossii turbinata), and Elephant Heads (aka Little Red Elephants, Pedicularis groenlandica). Enjoy!
