Description
"Looking Up" is a photograph from a low vantage point looking up at beautiful pink poppies in a garden at Crested Butte, Colorado. Designated the "Wildflower Capital of Colorado" by the Colorado State Legislature in 1990, Crested Butte has been hosting an annual wildflower festival every summer for 27 years. Visitors, photographers and artists from across the United States and abroad journey to Crested Butte to witness nature's explosion of color during the July festival and the weeks surrounding and well into the month of August and sometimes through early September. During Crested Butte Wildflower Festival, more than 200 events showcase the lush landscapes and focus on activities that include wildflowers such as hikes and walks, jeep tours, garden tours, and workshops in photography, art, gardening, medicinals and botany. During the week, other activities include Crested Butte Wine & Food Festival, Crested Butte Music Festival and Cattlemen's Days in nearby Gunnison. A former coal mining town, Crested Butte is now called "the last great Colorado ski town," and is a destination for skiing, mountain biking, and a variety of other outdoor activities. As evidenced by this image, Crested Butte residents take a lot of pride in their beautiful gardens.
