Often lost in these enormous settings are the smaller details that make up the landscape. In Colorado Wild, renowned nature photographer Grant Collier shows that these intimate scenes are no less beautiful than the larger ones. He uncovers the amazing beauty that lies within such overlooked objects as dew drops on a leaf, bark on a tree, or thorns on a rosebush. In doing so, Collier transports you to an extraordinary and sometimes alien world of nature on a miniature scale." keywords: nature, landscape, macrophotography, images, photographers, wildflowers, columbine, aspen trees, sunflowers, Garden of the Gods, yucca, dandelions, Red Cone, Great Sand Dunes, aspen leaves, Dream Lake, ice, lily pads
