Mixed Wildflowers

Flower gardeners know that certain colors really complement each other so they plan their gardens accordingly. Nature randomly throws flowers together and they look just as beautiful. It doesn't hurt if there are mountains and a deep blue sky in the background.

The trails that I use for trail running in Jefferson County (Apex, Chimney Gulch, Lair of the Bear, Mount Falcon, Deer Creek) are pretty dry but I still get treated to a variety of flowers.
