I love summer in the mountains, short though it may be.\u00a0 Winter has its own charm, especially if you like playing in the ice and snow, but summer is my season. \u00a0Days are long and the weather is pleasant — sometimes even warm. \u00a0People who live in the mountains know how to squeeze the most out of their short summer.<\/p>\n

I recently spent more than 2 weeks in the American Rocky Mountains, much of this time in Colorado at altitudes between 6000 and 8500 ft above sea level. \u00a0I was very impressed by the widespread planting of flowers in the small towns of the region. \u00a0Blossoms were everywhere — planters, gardens, window boxes, hanging pots. \u00a0The colors were beautiful, cheery and, to me, emotionally uplifting! \u00a0I couldn’t help but let my camera capture some of these images, which I’d like to share with you today. \u00a0 Hope you enjoy them!\u00a0 Soon they’ll be gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t
