STARTING THE MORNING OFF WITH A COLORFUL SCENE OF FLOWERS OUTDOORS I decided to move back

I decided to move back a ways and set up my camera along the river where there was a small path that he was using

I didn't have to look for very long

I started up the steep trail at 5:15 am to catch the sunrise at the lake and the Continental Divide

This summer sunrise was spectacular and majestic with a mist coming off Wildflower Lake and the magnificent colors changing from one minute to the next

I glanced skyward to check the clouds which happen to be altostratus clouds
