Fairly wet Spring means flowers and lots of them.

Bob, Thanks.. for the Purdy NM.wildflower pics. Hope you got a big whiff of the first flower.... wallflowers smell very lovely.
I lived in Taos in 1983, biked into town on a snowy -fall day and stayed that winter and spring.. enjoyed it. Is the Apple Tree still in Town? Loved that restaurant!
edit: Steve, I was also wondering if it was Co or NM. ;-)

Bob
Were those from NM or Colorado?
Either way, put more of 'em up.
That new camera of yours does it right!

Blinny...D300 with a Tokina 16-50 2.8 pro dx lens.
Steve...from CO
Nita...the Appletree is still in business and Taos is still filled with hippies.
Tim...there are hundreds of great wildflowers hikes...just depends what you are looking for.
One of my favorite is the St. Vrain Mountain Trail that starts from Allenpark.

Hope you won't be offended if I jump in with some pics taken in May at Pt. Lobos Preserve, just south of Moro Bay. Not as good as yours, but nice on the eyes. lrl

Could I use my old 35mm Cannon to get your crip resoution On your purple flower? Just using a regular digital for these.
Guess not, just read what you're using up on former post. Nice!

If you dare drive I-70, one of the most popular in
the Front Range of Colorado is the Herman Gulch
trail. It's the last exit westbound before you
get to Loveland Pass and the Eisenhower tunnel.
C'est manufique!

So Bob, I hope you will forgive me. My pic's are not your quality, but I didn't want these beauties to be unseen and forgotten. Now they have had their finest hour. Thanks!

Thanks for being such a good sport and sharing your thread!.....and you are so right about how they make you feel.
(I'ts just that your's are more like royalty or ballet dancers and mine are more like rockers or hoodies, that's just the feeling I get) Smiles, Lynne

L...I was raised Catholic...we wait until they are at least 18. :)
We started dating at 15 and got married at 21...she does look very young for her age.
