Rocky Mountain Columbine

I've been away from my blog for too long, and I hardly know where to begin. It's been an
eventful summer with lots of visitors and more to come. We've taken two camping trips -
one to Steamboat Lake State Park and the other to Golden Gate Canyon State Park, both
in Colorado. We hit the columbine jackpot on one of our hikes where we saw hundreds
in bloom. Rocky Mountain Columbine is Colorado's state flower.

Our porch is my favorite place to read, work on the computer, eat, and chat with friends
and family. A pair of house finches are raising a family of five in one of the hanging
geranium baskets. We enjoy watching their comings and goings. The babies are well hidden
beneath the geranium leaves.
