'Colorado Late Summer Splendor', a fine art mountain landscape photograph by Lynn Cyrus / Cascade Colors. 2015 was an unusually wet year in Colorado, with snow in the high alpine melting on the later side, and higher amounts of rainfall all throughout the summer. This resulted in phenomenal numbers of wildflowers, and the lengthiest flowering season I have experienced to date. Never before have I come across still decent numbers of flowers in bloom in the first week of September! Here, cream-white Tundra Paintbrush is growing in this alpine meadow, with the mountain peaks of the Hunter Frying Pan Wilderness, near Independence Pass, rising in the background. A warm blue sky filled with textured puffy clouds shines overhead early in the morning, and a glimpse of the clear blue waters of a narrow stream can be seen. A hint of autumn is beginning to show in some of the leaves and grasses. This part of the Rocky Mountains is near the community of Aspen.

Fine art photography and watercolor paintings! My passions in photography are landscapes and nature, capturing these elements in winter, spring, summer, and fall, in all types of terrain and locations around the world. I aim to capture the natural beauty of the world around me, and my philosophy is to use minimal amounts of post-processing. NO AI, no altered backgrounds, no filters, no effects, everything shot in RAW. The themes of my watercolor paintings are most commonly natural landscapes, wildlife, and scenes from my travels. I particularly focus on color and wet-on-wet effects. In terms of style, I enjoy experimenting with various styles. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
