Colorado Wildflowers Early July 2011

Colorado State flower - Columbine

I took these photos when we were near Estes Park and Allenspark, CO and at the Wild Basin entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park .  

Sandbagged creek running through Estes Park

We had a real wet winter so the creeks were running high and the flowers were all starting to bloom.  Very colorful. 

Looks like Wild Honeysuckle

Todd & Linda's Wedding Reception @ Wild Basin Lodge Allenspark, CO

 After the ceremony in the 'Meadow' all the guests strolled back to the Lodge for Cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. 

Each table was identified with a local creature or bird and the place cards were coordinated with each table. The centerpieces were vintage Indiana glass hob nail clear glass compotes (stemmed candy dishes)..

Yummy appetizers
