What could that be?! Frost!? No way!! In August!?



Yep! It's f-f-f-frost alright! I have no idea why that one side of the picture looks kinda red.



The view from the front porch of the cabin.



Birds, feeding.. When I first saw these nests on the back of the cabin, I thought they were giant dirt-dobber nests. They weren't.. There were at least 3 babies in the nest. They sure kept a close eye on me.. :lol:



Beeeee yourself! I sat out on the back porch for a while, taking pictures of things I usually wouldn't take pictures of, with a lens I never would've considered for these types of pictures.



Waving in the wind... I'm not sure why I liked this one, but I did..



Flutterby!! These pictures make the flowers and insects look huge. They weren't. The flowers weren't much bigger than my thumbnail..



"The Defiant One" There's something about the eyes on this one that made him look angry. Maybe it was because the wind was blowing him the flowers around like crazy!



More purple flowers.. I liked how the background kind of silhouetted the foreground flowers.



A souvenir! I guess I will be bringing some color back with me
from "Colorful Colorado."



An old storage building on the property next door, with the town of Pitkin in the background.

Wow, that last picture is awesome. All are nice but that is great. Great pics of a great trip. Very cool.
