I almost forgot that today is Colorado Day. I bet that you forgot too. No one makes a big deal out of it, although the state parks division cut the admission fee at Cherry Creek State Park outside of Denver. Woo hoo! If Colorado Day fell during the normal school year, there might be more of an observance.
The photo is of the state flower, Aquilegia caerulea, the Colorado blue columbine, growing at a relatively low elevation in the Wet Mountains, but on a damp, north-facing slope.
UPDATE: In its weekly "Peaks of the Past" retrospective, the Wet Mountain Tribune has this:
Colorado Day witnessed no great demonstration here. Some bunting was in evidence but business was conducted about the same as on any other day.
Heh.
