Incredible wildflowers near Redclound Peak in Colorado's San Juan Range

Welcome to my Favorites Gallery. This is a set of albums with my favorite pictures from my climbs and travels around the world.

I don't claim to be great climber or photographer but I had a lot of fun on the travels and cherish each picture. I have a saying I use in my fund raising for Alzheimer's research - Memories are Everything®. Well each of these pictures have a special memory and story attached that is special to me.

I hope you enjoy them.

This picture of wildflowers was taken in 2008 on a climb in Colorado's San Juan range. They were simply stunning with the background.

Climb On!
