It's been a year of the strangest weather here in Colorado. Everything from 70 degree days in January and February to a summer full of tornadoes and hail storms. Of all the years I have lived in Colorado this has got to be one of the greenest. In the distance from downtown you can see the mountains blanketed in vibrant colors.
This year I've seen wild irises in the Teller County valley this spring, wild sunflowers just about every where you turn, and now wildflowers of every shape and color throughout the high country.
Walking through valleys and even up fourteen thousand foot peaks they are everywhere and in mass numbers.
A recent hike on a hunt for the state flower was successful and I got to share the adventure with a great friend. The friend I went hiking with jokingly commented on a song from a very well known movie... and this year the mountains truly are alive!
