Wildflowers of the Many Glacier region
From wildflower patch to fir trees to lakes.
My favorite - the
towsled mop-headed little guys.
A purple flower in rock.
Red Rock Vista.
A patch
of green against a wall of red.
More of
my towsleded (sp?) headed favorites.
A splash
of colour. We are still in Canada.
In real life, these guys are limey green, not yellow. A beautiful green.
And the
beginning in a series: the bear grass! Those guys sticking up.
Bear
grass amongst purple thingies.
Red
Indian Paint-brush, with friends.
Yes! More
bear grass!
And more!
Can one have too much bear grass?
Apparently not.
Now this is supposed to show the wall of red rock juxtaposed with the field of flowers.
Believe it or not, this is my favorite photograph of the entire Montana-Canada collection. Mosses, flowers, water trickling down rock.
Beautiful things are seldom easy. Flowers take a foothold in sheer, vertical rock.
The
entire chain of flowers.
Rock:
study in light, shade and color.
Water streaming down vertical rock.
The postcard. Bear grass before Lake Grinnell.
On the boat on the way back to the Many Glacier Hotel.
Getting
closer. I was on the 4th floor but alas not with lake view. (Note to
self: next time, be sure to reserve room with lake view.)
