At 2400 feet Buttercups are blooming (Sagebrush Buttercups (Ranunculus glaberrimus)





At 5000 feet there is still four feet of snow on the road. (The tracks on the road were made by snowmobiles.)

Well, they said there was snow above 5,000 feet…this photo was taken at noon today at 5,500 feet




It’s not easy finding white flowers in this weather.

Field horsetail, Equisetum arvense
To see these displaying their jewelry, you must find them at just the right stage of their development and catch them early in the morning after a cool night when the humidity has been just right. For some reason tiny drops of dew will form on them and on nothing else around.

It is wildflower season, and today my plan was to post a few photos of the species that are beginning to bloom here now. Then this morning my wife said something like “Honey, you should see this…” and that plan was changed because the morning light was just right to illuminate the artwork of a couple of busy arachnids in a lilac bush. Well, the flowers can wait another day, can’t they?
