During the summer I participated in Hike for Discovery benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  Hike for Discovery has now been rolled into the Team in Training grouping and will continue on once again in 2009 with two different seasons.  During the Hike training events I would bring my camera along to document the various locations we would hike each Saturday and help tell the story of the effort.  As this was so much of the summer months the June 2008 image is at Heil Valley Ranch outside of Boulder.  It was pretty warm on this day as we hiked around twelve miles at a low elevation.  Towards the end of the hike, I noticed a field and took the below image with a point and shoot camera.  With some adjustments in Adobe Lightroom I was able to bring some color and punch to the image under conditions which were not too optimal for landscape photography.
