Colorado Greenthread

 
My best guess on this flower is the Colorado Greenthread Thelesperma megapotamicum. 

The Yellow Line

I took the boys on another forced march. Li Mei managed to fall asleep right before we headed out, so she stayed home with daddy.

The boys wanted to hang out in the house and play with all of Kai's new birthday toys. I thought they'd been cooped up in the house too much already. The first mile was plagued with a resentful mood, but we got past that and had a nice 2+ miles after that. 

Butter-and-Eggs

 
Checking out my wildflower guide, I believe these are Linaria vulgaris of the Figwort family and also known as Toadflax. These were alongside the Inner Canyon/Lake Gulch Loop path in Castlewood Canyon State Park. 

Too Sunny

 
I got the zoom lens on fast enough, but not the polarizing filter. Gads, it was bright that day. Better than the rain the previous day.
