Colorado Wildflower Tour - July 2021

[Bosque Bill]

After issues with my camper last time out, I ended up replacing my compressor refrigerator and AGM batteries to address those issues. I also replaced my solar controller with a more modern unit for good measure. All that took much longer than I’d hoped so wasn’t able to get out again until a month ago. Then it took several weeks to write the post and process all the photos, but here we are finally.

Bill thank you very much for this great tour.
Your photos ,as usual are terrific.
The wildflowers by far the best.

I remember my trips into Colorado many,many
years ago and how the scenery,flowers ,butterflies,and mountains blew me away.

What a great show you have posted.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your sights.

Once again thank you so much for your beautiful pictures and tour.

And in my opinion quality trout fishing waters are very special, just like New Mexico Green Chili! In New Mexico it’s hard to match the “Hatch” ! (only fly fishers and folks from NM will get that) Oh I crack myself up.

Bill, we finally got a chance to sit down and take in your trip story and photos. We did not want to rush through your quality content. Wonderful stuff and much fun! We've traveled many of the same paths but it is always a delight to see it all afresh through your perspective. Thanks for a delightful vicarious trip!

Bill, as usual, an excellent and helpful trip report. You do beautiful photographic work. I have been lurking on your blog as we plan a trip to southern Utah. Excellent information wrapped around stunning imagery! Thanks!

Great butterfly shots too.
