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

Sharmon,
how fun that you know what Bear Grass is. It is a much loved thing around here and by the folks that visit here. In some areas there is so much this year! Wahoo.
Love that you enjoyed the saxifrage, i am also smitten with it. Tiny tiny indeed!
Thank you for stopping by!
Tammie
Such a wonderful walk with you along that inviting road of discovery and so many different kinds of beautiful flowers to discover. I like the sound of your cooling breezes and shade, despite the heat. I'm not sure how I would feel so close to bears though!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and serene!
ReplyDeleteWell that was a curious bear! The saxifrage is a delight, as is the thistle!
ReplyDeleteyikes a bear!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy this evening walk! Thanks ! :)
ReplyDeleteYou truly live in a beautiful place Tammie - and you so much know to appreciate and love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these wonderful photos. :-)
Wow, those stands of beargrass are fantastic! And the saxifrage , so pretty! I have missed a lot this year and now will have to start playing catch-up.
ReplyDeleteLove to read of your roaming, Tammie. I thought at first the bear grass was Bistort - my grandson's favorite because it's "stinky." That bear grass may be leading the bears right up to your cabin - be wary! The Spotted Saxifrage is a tiny wonder of Nature - fabulous shot.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful evening walk, Tammie. The pink flower is very striking and your shot of the spotted saxifrage is gorgeous. I hope you and the bear cross paths only at a very safe distance!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the beauty you show us ...
ReplyDeleteFriend, huge kiss.

Good gracious, for this city dweller, that sounds frightening, but most enchanting, Tammie Lee! Your area is so strikingly beautiful and rich with mysteries beyond my usual experience. You are enjoying your summer, aren't you!
Thank you kindly for coming to visit me! Anita
Glad you only found the paw print and not the bear. ;) The wildflowers are great!
ReplyDeleteSo many stories and possibilities in that landscape!
ReplyDeleteThe bear must have come to say "hi!" - you are a part of his/her life after all!:0)
ReplyDeleteThe "inviting" road is leading to such beauty, to such wonderful sights! I'm in awe!! Smiling...
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. It brought me back here, and am I ever so glad. Your photography is awesome, I would love to wonder down that road.
ReplyDeleteNot a big bear person, or a small bear person (grin) Hopefully his calling card isn't a way of saying he'll be back.
Fantastic shots of the nature beauties! :) It seems to be a lovely place to walk, and I like the name of the mountains.
ReplyDeleteOh! The bear has left a note at your home, I would be scared! But you are brave! However, take care!
Love, viola :)
Such an amazing landscape (and then some) and I love, love, love the patterns in this collection … in the shadows, the clouds, the buds and hillsides …
ReplyDeleteVery lovely photoes !
ReplyDeleteThanx for sharing!
Hugs :)
Impressive landscape !
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammie Lee! Good morning to you as I stroll down again on your beautiful page.Many thanks for your comment on our European link party!
