Wild Paint (July 2025)
Red petals reaching,
Absorbing rays of the wild—
Spirits manifest.

Whipple's penstemon (July 2025)
If we’re to overcome our obstacles, this is the message to broadcast—internally and externally. We will not be stopped by failure, we will not be rushed or distracted by external noise. We will chisel and peg away at the obstacle until it is gone. Resistance is futile.
—Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is The Way
This tree-framed view of Twilight Peak from the Crater Lake Trail on Saturday highlights the awe-inspiring textures of the mountains that make up the West Needle range.
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.

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.

Mid-October colors at Castle Rock on a stormy day for #MountainMonday.
Evening light illuminates a bloom of Boulder Raspberry.
I have a few friends who gave DxO a closer look and they find it much easier than Lightroom and a little faster too.
I like it. I prefer the interface of Capture One, but most people don't need all those features... and don't want subscription pricing.
DxO definitely worth a look.
I couldn't decide if I liked the black and white or color edit better, so… why not both?
Here is a beautiful Colorado Columbine I photographed on my birthday back in 2023 for #ThrowbackThursday.

Growth is possible even in conditions that seem impossible.
A little droopy, but still blooming…
