This image is from the same hike as yesterday’s photo. I like the long shadows created from the low position of the sun in late autumn.

On a recent hike, a few days before the snow and cold arrived last week, I visited a nearby area that has been closed since the September flood and reopened just before Thanksgiving. The weather was gorgeous: warm for this time of year, barely a breeze and lots of sunshine. I found a place to sit and take in the surroundings. I enjoy the subtle color differences of the variety of vegetation this time of year. When the snow melts after a heavy snowfall the vegetation isn’t as attractive because the weight of the snow flattens it. I’m fortunate I took this when I did.

I’ve played with finger paint in the past and the color they create has appealed to me. It would be a good medium for gift wrap as well.

Hiking on an October day in the higher elevations, a friend and I ran into snow on the trail and strong winds, which is common. The scenery was spectacular though. I’ve found that since I’ve started photographing mountains, this is one of the most photogenic I’ve come across. The shape, the snow, the shadows, the surrounding terrain all lend themselves to creating good photo opportunities. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to spend a lot of time in this area.

While hiking on a beautiful late July day, I came upon a meadow carpeted with lavender and bright yellow asters. Several butterflies fluttered from one delicate flower to another.

This was taken in 2010 at a wetlands area that was heavily damaged in the September flooding. While visiting, I’ve seen bald eagles, great blue herons, goldfinches and one time a medium-sized orange and black bird that I believe was a Bullock’s oriole. This shot is the sun setting behind the Front Range foothills with one of the ponds in the foreground.

This was taken in the Indian Peaks Wilderness at about 11,800 feet elevation. It’s on one of my favorite trails approximately 4 miles from the trailhead. There was a powerful wind and with no trees to protect me on the tundra, the wind nearly knocked me to the ground.

On this day, I started out as one of the many who hike to the waterfall about three miles from the trail head. The spray from the large waterfall creates moss-covered rock and sustains water-loving plants like ferns. It’s a beautiful spot, but quite crowded. Seeking some solitude, I took a short side-trip down a less traveled trail decorated with bright yellow aspen leaves. Along the trail, I photographed the light in the leaves and scenes like this.

My boyfriend and I savored the boundless views on our hike to a mountain top in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. The tundra had turned from summer green to the colors of autumn.

Because of the damaged roads from the recent flooding, I adventured to a trail I've never hiked. Most of the wildflowers were finished blooming for the season, but I did spy these paintbrush. I sat on an old fallen tree trunk and enjoyed them for some time.

This post begins a new regular feature on the Wild Creative Heart blog: photos with the theme "Light".
The day I took this I was captivated by the sparkles on the water. There were many more than on other days. It was taken just a few miles from my home at a wetlands area where I sometimes walk and sit. The area has had extensive damage due to the recent flooding.
