So a friend of mine picked me up at the train station. Well, I should say that he picked me up at the temporary train station as they are in the process of renovating the original train station. I am glad that they are renovating the station, but it would have been nice that someone would have let me know so that I could let my friend know as the temporary station is a couple blocks away from the main station. Anyways, he ended up taking me up to the Boulder Canyon which was really cool.

I'm not sure what kind of flower this is but I like the looks of it.

I really like the look of these flowers but again I'm not sure what they are. They have the nicest looking blues.

Again, another flower that I find very nice looking.
A tree on one of the mountains.
Some cacti. This is a plant that I don't get to see in the wild in Michigan.

I'm not sure what river or creek this is.

A nice purple flower. Again, I'm not sure what kind of flower it is.

I really liked the look of this flower. Especially with the bug on it.

I want to say this is a lilac but I also want to say that I am probably wrong.
I forget what I was taking a picture of but I saw a little motion in the grass and it turns out that it was this snake. I'm not sure what kind though.
Another nice flower.

I really liked this shot of the flowers with the cactus.

It's funny, normally I wouldn't take a shot like this but I saw a couple of artists painting it. After looking at it, I'm glad I did.
Another group of flowers.

I really liked this shot of the mountains.
I also liked this shot.
Since I live in Michigan, I don't get to see mountains that often so it was pretty neat to see them along with the flora that live on them.
I have family in Colorado. I always loved going on hikes into the mountains and checking out the arid-zone plants like cacti that lived there. Great pictures; I'm looking forward to seeing your work during football season.
