One element of beauty is the experience of the harmony of contrasts. Here, in this photo, the camera was able to capture sunlight shining on the columbine, while the mountains remained in the shadow of storm clouds. Ten minutes later, a ferocious thunderstorm brought hail so thick it looked like snow, and we had to take cover in the trees. Who would have guessed that just a half-hour earlier, mountains, lakes and flowers were all sunny! It is contrasts such as these that make for such memorable outdoor experiences.
