I'm finally feeling well enough to go on early morning photo walks. This morning, I returned to one of my favorite spots, Ute Valley Park. Summer is definitely here. The cattails at that pond are filled in and hide the pond with their deep green leaves. The oaks have all filled out. The yuccas are starting to flower.
I was a bit foolish while taking this photo this morning. I was wearing shorts and flip-flops and wading through the tall grass. This is not smart because there are a lot of Rattlesnakes in the park, and flip-flops are not much protection against them. I never saw, or heard, a rattler, but I did meet a small grass snake at this location.

I'm glad you did not meet disaster in your flip flops. The photo is gorgeous!
Looks like a fun and warm place to hike! Thank goodness you didn't encounter a Rattlesnake.
It's summertime so you have to wear flip flops adn shorts :D.

I'm not saying nothing! ;-)
Excellent photo; the clouds are great!
Wow that is a fantastic sky!
What a perfect example of those gorgeous Colorado skies I'm always hearing such wonderful things about! This looks like such a pleasant setting - a perfect place to take a book and read the day away (well, if it weren't for the snakes, anyway).
Russ,
Your world is beautiful. I love that sky.
I suppose the rattlers were photoshy. Luckily the grass, trees, and sky weren't.
beautiful day! love the sky!
Thanks all!
Ms toast burner - yup. I guess I have a history of bad planning. Thanks, for bringing it to my attention :)
You probably didn't read my early post. One of them does include a reference to flip-flops...
As my wife would say: "That is so Russ"
You have painted the sky nicely too. Excellent and watch out for those rattlesnakes.
I like this one especially the sky itself.
And its good to know the snakes are not interested to you...c",)
what a beautiful sky you have captured!
