Winter Milky Way over Blanca Peak canyon Colorado has a wondrous variety

Colorado has a wondrous variety of spring flowers

ÿ Couple it with one of my favorite local hikes

a simpler time living within nature on the frontier when the homestead was a home to a vibrant family and ranch hands

although perhaps not in January

waiting for a particularly clear night to reduce the light pollution and allow the full glory of the Milky Way to shine through

Winter Milky Way over Blanca Peak canyon Colorado has a wondrous varietyThe Winter Milky Way isn't photographed as commonly as the brighter summer Milky Way, but I still find beauty in its delicate shimmer. You can also see the Orion, Flame, and Rosetta nebulas, and multiple star clusters glowing over the snow clad peaks!
