Honoring Wildflowers & a Bear


 these are tiny wee flowers
yes two words for small to emphasize 


named:
Russethair Saxifrage
amongst other names
 

so tiny that i didn't notice their spots of color
until i see them larger on my computer
 

being enchanted in their presence
i nearly did an entire post on them


the enchanting pipissewa, above

 (asters)

such a lovely time of year
 

we were blessed
with the spotting of a black bear rooting around
in the distance
 

flowers in their best attire

  7. You captured the eensy-weensy delicate blooms perfectly Tammie. My air is still heavily scented with Lupine. Wildflowers this summer are blooming in profiusion. I saw bear scat while hiking alone yesterday. I became very watchful but didn't see the bear.

  8. What absolutely adorable wild flowers! Those first tiny ones would have willingly taken up your whole post for the pleasure of our eyes! Such delicate beauty everywhere and the colour of the asters is one of my favourites. You even got to see a black bear!

  17. Son unas flores maravillosas!
    Tan pequeñas...
    Has hecho un gran trabajo querida amiga, un estupendo trabajo fotográfico!

    El oso me encanta, aunque yo les tengo un poco de miedo, pero es fantástico verlos así, en libertad y en un lugar tan precioso!
    Recibe un gran abrazo querida amiga.

    Are wonderful flowers!
    So small ...
    You did a great job, dear friend, a wonderful photographic work!

    I love the bear, but I have them a little scary, but it's great to see them so in freedom and in such a beautiful place!
    A big hug dear friend.

  18. ...I love those little white flowers with their starburst stamens! It doesn't grow around here.
    ...also, wow! for the bear!

  19. With your photography, even the smallest of flowers are brilliant. Saxifrage does best in the wild, it always suffers in my garden. The last time I saw a black bear, I was 9 years old in Yellowstone Park, and it took a swipe at my father who had to climb atop the car! Lucky you, to witness so much wildlife, especially 3 fawn at once.
