Rocks and Mountains - a photo on Flickriver

            The Longs Peak massif rises to the highest point in the Front Range and is framed by boulders and Limber Pine (Pinus flexilis) situated on the flanks of Miller Rock, Boulder County, Colorado.

The family and I have focused travel primarily on the immediate surroundings these days. This emphasis on the local brings with it some pleasant surprises and discoveries of places that for some reason we've overlooked for nearly two decades of living here. It is possible to drive jeeps, motorcycles, or ATVs to the base of Miller Rock, but the final scramble to the summit requires use of hands and feet. There is also a lovely trail that can be walked if one prefers to amble, and we found numerous Fairy-slipper Orchids (Calypso bulbosa) growing in the shady forest. I have to credit my 10-year-old for finding the flowers. I marched right past them, indicating once more that seeing is an active endeavor, whether the focus is flora or systemic racism.

Thanks for looking and for comments and feedback!
