Summer days …
Mountain bluebell.

SUMMIT COUNTY — August marks the peak of summer and the beginning of a long slide into autumn and, inevitably, winter. It’s not unusual to get a first dusting of snow on the very highest peaks late in the month; this year we had a couple of such dustings. But in the valleys, it’s high summer, with wildflowers in full bloom and warm breezes rustling the summer grass. Vote for your favorite August photo and help us pick the monthly image for the 2013 Summit Voice calendar.
