Congratulations to Ron Acklin!
His wonderful photograph of Colorado Columbines has won the August Estes Valley Photo Club Contest!
Here is what Ron said about the photograph: “I took this photo the evening of August 1st, 2025. It’s an area that is extremely difficult to get to. As I was enjoying the scenery I saw a bull moose feeding on the hillside. I climbed up the very steep hillside to hopefully get better photos of the bull moose. As I was climbing up about halfway, I saw several patches of Colorado Columbines that were absolutely beautiful. Normally The Colorado Columbines I often see are usually not as vivid bright colors that these were. I am maybe a ‘mooseaholic’ but I also love to photograph wildflowers.”…
