First time in these mountains since last year. The air is cool, refreshing and the light at this elevation, (10,000 feet) is pristine. This waterfall is just a few hundred yards from the parking area and a short uphill hike. In about two to three weeks the Columbine and other wildflowers should be gracing these slopes. If you get a chance to go here, you won’t be disappointed. Or join me on a photo trek and I’ll take you here.
The next four images are from the Valle Vidal. It was 84ºF in San Luis Valley and 45ºF in the mountains. We were surrounded by hail, sleet, and rain and these exquisite, Yellow-rumped Warblers flitting about everywhere.
As always, thanks for looking and all your comments and compliments. G

I love when you’re in the Valley. Thanks man!
Thanks so much, Roberta. G
Love them all! One place I’ve never been, thank you for sharing ~
Thank you, Elaine. I hope you get to go there. G
I think the Valle Vidal Comanche Point is magical- hope to see it!
It is magical. I hope you do get to see it. Thank you, Donna. G
Coming to Taos June 25. Hoping to see those wildflowers at the Ski Valley. Love your photos.
The columbines are in bud. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you are here. Thank you, Donna. G
thanks
As always, thank you, Ron. G
Better be careful, shooting warblers can turn you into a bird geek…you’ll want to have the Yellow-rumped Warbler, Myrtle sub-group to go along with your Yellow-rumped Audubon’s type, then you’ll need to go to Canada for the Canada Warbler…
Beautiful captures!
I’m counting on you my friend to show me the ones I don’t have. Thanks, Larry. G
Love your photography. Take care. Jim
Thanks so much, Jim. I appreciate it. G
Fabulous. Love your work as always.
Thank you, Sandy. I hope you are well. G
The warblers are nice, but I really enjoy the perspective on the falls. Two focal points often doesn’t work well–confusing, eyes flit back and forth–but the flow of falls crashing onto the rocks balances out the other two to make a classy image. Take a peek at my latest travel blog where I have a couple that shouldn’t work but I think they do. http://www.penandprint.blogspot.com
Thanks for the compliments, Bob. I figure it works for me and I don’t really question it. I’ll check out your link. G
The Valle Vidal area always lights up my day! Thanks for taking me there again.
It’s such a beautiful place. Wish it was closer but then it wouldn’t be the same. Thanks, Susan. G
Love these! Thanks for sharing with us Geraint.

Thank you, Patty. I’ve been enjoying your images on FB. See you in July. G
Cooling view of falls with snow in distance. Just had a warm dry day it won’t last here in England. Thankyou Alison
Right now we could use some more moisture. It’s been hot here in the valley since last week. Thanks, Alison. I hope you are keeping well. G
Thank you. Wonderful as always.
Thank you, Elizabeth. I hope you are well. G
