Indian Paintbrush in the Colorado Rocky Mountains

A framed photo of Indian Paintbrush was taken in Colorado's remote high country near Ruby Jewel Lake at an elevation of 11,000 feet.
Spring is coming. Can you smell it in the air? I can. It puts a bounce in my step and anticipation in my heart. The spring wildflowers in the Rocky Mountains are spectacular when the winter snows are deep. This should be a very good year. One of my favorites, Indian Paintbrush or sometimes called Prairie Fire, grows at high elevations and low. Spring will come and new paintbrush will sprout. I can't wait!
