I never tire of drifting among wildflowers, whether they’re spread across open parks or gathered in the half-light of the forest understory.
My favorites: paintbrush, beargrass, fairy slipper orchids.
Here in our region of the Rocky Mountains, spring and
summer are brief. But what they lack in duration, they make up for in a fervent
dedication to wildflowers.
After spending Sunday and Monday driving mountain roads on
both sides of the Great Continental Divide, I’d like to share a few images of
the flowers I encountered along the way.
