Aspen regrowth in an area scorched by wildfire.
The wildflower bloom is colorful and plentiful.
This giant bloom looks like a succulent, but it's not. Anyone know its name?
The hills are alive with color...

Although most mornings are sunny, thunderheads roll in nearly every day in what locals call "the monsoon season."
On the "up and over" trail above Creede, the forested hillside is covered in moss.
Even our cabin is decked out in flowers, thanks to Patty K., whose plants we're tending while she's on vacation. Who needs a vacation from Creede when it's this beautiful?
