Social media has been a huge part of our lives over the last few years, as artists, we almost depend on it as it facilitates our art reaching to many corners of the world. Reaching people we would otherwise have a hard time reaching.

I have a love/hate relationship with social media. I don’t post many of my images on Instagram, not like I used too.

I have made it my priority to focus on my newsletters and website. If you would like to see my work, please head over to my website. You can also subscribe to my newsletter. I announce gallery releases as well as share many other things through it.

This is a way you can support me. I also print my work so, if you would like to buy a print, please let me know.

As always, thank you for the support 🖤

I am excited for wildflower season!
Is there such a thing?
Sure! Why not?

The images in this gallery were created last July. I hope you enjoy them. There is also a new blog post waiting for you to read :)

💐April 2026 Newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/marthamontielphotography/spring-is-here

There is a lot I love about living in Colorado, especially how the seasons change. Summer, autumn and winter bring dramatic shifts, but since we live at a high altitude, spring is mostly mud season for us. Snow often sticks around until June and with the exception of some lower elevation areas, wildflowers don’t appear until late June through August.

“It is one of the beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.”

― Ralph Waldo Emerson

These three images are from February 2025 while photographing in Rocky Mountain NP with friends. I released a gallery of those images last year but, I still have many images from that outing that have not been edited or seen the light of day. I added this first image to my website last month and wanted to share it here. That first one is my favorite of the three, to me, it looks like a painting of a ballerina (I swear I am not doing drugs, I just have a vivid imagination) You don’t have to agree with me on this one. Do you see it or see something different?

I enjoyed the freedom of creating artsy images of dorman plants while taking full advantage of flat light in winter.

What ya think?

I have been working on some of my images from last fall and realized I have not shared much lately so, here ya go! Hard to believe this is an Autumn image right?

I decided to publish this today instead of tomorrow, as I won't have time tomorrow. I hope you find this list useful. Not only good for the Camino, but also for other trips.

I welcome your feedback
