Summer of Flowers

we hiked up up UP

into the mountains

shoulder high

beargrass bloomed

even the old timers are saying they have never seen such a grand show

of

beargrass

at the pass we headed down to a lake

due to being high in the mountains

we found spring flowers in summer!

the earth was 

golden in flowers

Glacier lilies

it was a 12 hour adventure

and 

12 miles (19km) of hiking

we were whooped

yet the flowers enlivened our spirits

Bear Grass

We've had a lovely week,
blue skies that release the warm scents of summer.

Bear Grass

flowers like bright torches
illuminated in sunlight
ignite the forest floor
drawing us to their beauty
also true
of you
a light
that shines brightly as you carpet the earth
sharing your unique qualities
precious and worthy
touching hearts
as you go
