Wandering the foothills of the eastern Montana Rocky Mountains
we found these lovely Pasque wildflowers
heads raised to the glorious sun
thriving
and
luxuriating in Spring
a real treat, as I had never met them before
I felt quite enchanted by them

ReplyDeleteTack för din kommentar hos mig. Idag har vi varit ute på havet å lagt nät....grillat och bara njutit.
ReplyDeleteJättefina foton du bjuder oss på.

These are wonderful tammie! They are very popular here in all the plant nurseries at the moment - it looks so strange to see them growing in their natural habitat. x
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one - what a treat! And beautiful captures of them by you!

ReplyDeletethanks so much for your nice comment you wrote me in my blog: D
ReplyDeleteAnd what an incredible beautiful pictures you have here:)
Wonderful pasqueflower .. Giant Beautiful close-up .. but a little beard:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I can see what you mean by "luxuriating in Spring". Now if Spring would just come back for us ... we're having a "winter-like storm" here, quite unusual.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen these before, yet they are so very unique and beautiful. Your photography, as usual, is breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteSmiles!
I'm glad you introduced us to them after having met them. They remind me a little bit of crocusses but look at that wonderful furry stem! Gorgeous Tammie.
ReplyDeleteNice picture of a beautiful flower. I like the light in the first picture. What a beautiful landscape you live in. Greetings Lis

ReplyDeleteI see you live in Montana; we lived in Wyoming for about 15 years - that makes us, somewhat, neighbors! (never saw a bear in all the time we lived in Wyoming)
