Summers In The Meadow

It seems as though summer arrived overnight in Rocky Mountain National Park. A few warm sunny days and the snow is quickly melting and the early season wildflowers are in bloom all over the lower to mid elevations of Rocky Mountain National Park. The Golden Banner looks beautiful around Beaver Meadows and made a great subject for this image of Longs Peak at sunrise last week. Technical Details: Nikon D810, Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8 AF

The wildflower parade is now well underway in Rocky Mountain National Park. Lots of flowers blooming all over the park and it’s only June. Golden Banner, Wild Iris, Calypso Orchids, Marsh Marigolds, Aster and many others can now be found. I’m always amazed at not only how quickly the weather can change in Rocky Mountain National Park, but also how a week of mild weather can catapult us so quickly to summer like conditions in the park. Higher elevations are mostly covered with snow but even areas where the snow is rapidly melting, wildflowers can be found. My advice is to enjoy this time of year in Rocky and quickly take advantage of the rapidly changing season. Enjoy the start of the wildflower bloom, because I’m sure I’ll be commenting sooner than later about golden aspen leaves.
