I liked the grey and white rock behind this vibrant red Paintbrush, seen at the Ing's Mine road parking lot area a couple of days ago. This small, gravel road is off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66) at the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains and is about 60 km from where I live. For those of you not familiar with this species, their color comes from dense, bright bracts that surround the actual green flower. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castilleja

Just for my own records. Decided I would add these to my Flickr photostream after all - kind of feels like I'm bragging, though, which is why I originally didn't post them. I seem to have been black-listed by Explore, LOL, after getting three of my images - the ONLY three that I am aware of - on Front Page, these two on consecutive days. So, these three FPs will most likely be the only three I ever get in, anyway : ) I never think of checking Front Page (never have done in over three years, as I must admit I don't really consider it a big deal), so I would never have known if others hadn't told me and two people hadn't kindly saved screen shots for me. However, I DO thank all of you for taking the time to look at any of my images at any time. THAT is a big deal and is so very much appreciated!
