CapturedByGrace > "Delicate Morning"
Taken June 27, 2009 in Golden Gate Canyon State Park, Colorado.  
I believe this is a wild Geranium.  Was practicing with my new 100 mm macro lens.  Best viewed large.
CapturedByGrace > "Colorado Columbine"
My first ever shot of a columbine, taken June 27, 2009.  I had never seen a columbine in the mountains before this.  Was walking along the road, looked to the left, and saw a group of these growing near some rocks!  I had to teeter on a fairly steep embankment to get this shot, but it was worth it!  God is an awesome painter of color.

CapturedByGrace > "Pink Rose"
Wild rose spotted along the North Fork South Platte River near Grant, Colorado, 6/21/2009.
CapturedByGrace > "Small but Resilient"
Unidentified wildflower near Gold Camp Road in Colorado.  While photographing these delicate flowers, I marveled at how amazing it is that they can grow out of rocky areas like this, withstand heavy rains, yet remain this delicate-looking and beautiful.  Colorado has seen great rainfall this year, making for nice cloud cover, aiding saturation of colors.  God is such an amazing creator.
