Hot Summer Days


hot summer days
are beautiful
and true to the season


yet they beg for evening walks
as the day cools off


pollinators 
busy at work


wings
the original stain glass beauty


berry bushes
lush in their greenery


high mountain flowers thrive
where lower elevation flowers have turned to seed

Red Meadow Lake


the rain was falling when we arrived
clearing a patch of blue sky
after many smoke filled days


a treasure found
tiny flowers at the base of an old stump


bee-ware


love the rare finds


something about mountain mist
that inspires awe


Indian paintbrush comes in many hues


clouds part
revealing light and shadows
to our delight

Evening Walk


such an inviting road
still closed to cars due to avalanches
perfect for wandering
(Eureka Mountains)


exquisite flowers cloak the earth
like stars dance in the skies


wonderful flowers for us to find


so much bear grass that it inspires joy


the precious and tiny spotted saxifrage


look at what i found on my cabin!
a muddy bear print
at shoulder height
about the size of my hand:


summer is full on here
with days around 90F
pretty hot, but nice with a breeze and shade
