A small flock of dark colored wild turkeys, roaming and foraging among grasses and pine needles on a hillside underneath some pine trees and next to a hiking trail.

Sunflowers and friends. 🌻🌾
A closer view of the same stand of blooming, yellow, wild sunflowers next to an open meadow, with hazy mountains in the background and broken, cloudy skies above.
A large stand of dozens of blooming, yellow wild sunflowers next to an open meadow filled with green cattails and other vegetation, with the hazy outline of mountains in the far background, and skies filled with broken gray clouds above on a summer afternoon.
Stems of dried, spiky, brown teasels and blooming yellow plumes of goldenrod, growing in and around a wooden post fence alongside a biking trail, along with other tall, green and drying vegetation, on a partly sunny, pleasant, summer afternoon.
Many stems of blooming, yellow, Dakota sunshine sunflowers and their green leaves, hanging over the crossbar (almost horizontally) of a wooden post fence alongside a biking path, with filtered afternoon sun shining across the plants.

Mountain Bluebell Dreams (July 2025)
These small, but plentiful flowers add a beautiful splash of blues and purples to those mountain hikes.

The five-day “Mini” Backpack is something we do with our 7th and 8th-grade Scouts every two years. This year, we had an eleventh-hour destination change from #colorado’s Flat Tops Wilderness to the much less fire-hazardous West Elks Wilderness near Durango.
Day 1: Trailhead to Middle Creek along the Lowline. Lots of cows and a forest fire scar. Water scarcity and everyone getting used to heavy backpacks and steep climbs. Crew working to come together.

A group of four children is sitting around a campsite with tents in the background. They are engaged in a cooking activity near a small fire pit, surrounded by grass and trees. The atmosphere is relaxed, with the children wearing outdoor clothing and hats.
A group of 16 people, including children and adults, stands together in a forested area. They are wearing blue shirts and carrying backpacks, ready for a hiking adventure. The background features tall trees and a grassy clearing.
A dense aspen forest with tall white trunks and green foliage, illuminated by sunlight. Fallen logs and thick grass are visible on the forest floor, creating a serene natural atmosphere.
A hiker stands on a trail surrounded by tall, burned trees in a post-wildfire landscape. The sky is partly cloudy, and green vegetation is starting to grow among the charred remains. A large backpack is worn by the hiker,

The same coyote glancing over its left shoulder continues trotting quickly along the edge of the ponds grasses to get past me on the path and into the cover of some nearby trees.
A wary coyote with golden eyes, perked up ears, and gray-brown fur trots quickly across the grassy edges of a hiking path next to a wetlands pond, with some scrub and tall cattail grasses in the background.
Looking down at the edge of a wetlands pond lined with a variety of green and drying vegetation, including some brown curly dock, tall, thistly teasels, some mullein spikes, and others. The calm waters of the pond have a thin layer of yellow-green algae on the near side, and some green trees from the far side reflected in the water. The bright morning sun is glinting off the water in a spot near the shoreline and backlighting some of the vegetation growing on the banks.
Looking across a calm, still wetlands pond, with some yellow-green algae in the water on the near side and open waters beyond that are reflecting a variety of green trees and vegetation on the far side and the clear blue morning skies above.

#MountainMonday Mills Castle in the West Elks Wilderness from Storm pass. Lots of #Colorado 14ers on the horizon. And wildfire smoke, because that’s what we do here in the summer.
