Living up to 900 years in age Juniper and pinon trees exhibit their tenacity as they cling to the rock formations through the centuries of wind and weather.

The Rich reds in the rock were brought out by the full sunlight and dark passing storm.

Daniel P Woods > Colorado Columbine

This exotic Columbine is the state flower of Colorado.  It has a broad habitat range, thriving on hot, dry, talus slopes and in moist, shady forests; its color varies through a wonderful range of whites, blues, and purples; and its flowers thrive from June through August.  The five petals have unusual and showy spurs; the five sepals are usually larger than the petals.  

"Coerule" is Latin for "blue".
