Morning photo: Sunset and clearcuts …

Finding beauty in beetle-killed forests

Morning scene along the shore of Dillon Reservoir.

By Bob Berwyn

SUMMIT COUNTY — A few images from the daily peregrinations along the shore of the reservoir. I usually try to assiduously avoid the clearcut areas in photos because really, who wants to see pictures of stumps. But every now and then, it’s probably a good reminder, especially with a warming climate that may very well bring additional blight to high country ecosystems.

Virga.

There’s that blue stain …

Lodgepole clearcut.

Wild strawberry.

Looking toward Frisco.

“Rainbow” leaves of Oregon grape.
