Beehive Lake spanA tough climb north of the popular Beehive Basin, lies Beehive Lake. Ice persists here well into July, and hadn't completely melted when I took this photo toward the end of the month. I backpacked 60 pounds of astrophotography gear into this remote bowl, catching a few hours' worth of sleep in a garbage bag (looking for any way possible to save weight). The mosquitoes were nearly unbearable, small and voracious, but the view after dark was well worth

the final rays of a July day light these beautiful flowers in a scene that captures the essence of an ephemeral season

I was able to create a silky smooth scene where even the subtlest shades of color blend perfectly
