Mimic mountain steams,
flowing around obstacles—
unfettered momentum.

Red petals reaching,
Absorbing rays of the wild—
Spirits manifest.

I love wildflower season in the San Juans. And one of my favorite wildflowers to experience is Jacob's Ladder. Thankfully, the Crater Lake Trail had a seemingly endless supply ready for me this past weekend.
Though it is a parasitic plant, this specimen of Pedicularis groenlandica—aka Elephant's head—that I encountered yesterday morning may be one of the coolest wildflowers I've ever photographed.
It was a beautiful morning yesterday as the sun rose above the San Juan Mountains at Andrews Lake.

Last summer I ran into this Monarch butterfly while visiting coastal Maine.

The Shooting Star Columbine (Aquilegia elegantula), also known as the Western Columbine, is another of my favorite wildflowers here in the San Juan Mountains.
@alexskunz I disagree with this. I think both models have their benefits.Subscriptions only have this argument if you need all the new updates right away. If the updates have no benefit to you, you're getting nothing from the transaction.
#CaptureOne is skirting the perfect solution IMO.
1) Buy lifetime license, get no updates.
2) Subscribe, get updates, and, every year subscribed you get a % off the lifetime license so you can switch and lock in anytime.
A very cold late November morning along the Animas River in 2023 revealed these intricate ice textures shining as the first rays of sunlight gently illuminated them.
