On top of Wheeler Peak |
Looking at Wheeler Peak from near Taos; it is the light-colored peak in the center. |
On our way there we saw this smoke plume above Santa Fe; there is a fire in the Pecos Wilderness. |
This was in profusion along a creek close to the ski area; I believe it is mainly watercress. |
beautiful little Forget-Me-Nots up on top. |
some Forget-Me-Nots without the blue |
Colorado Columbine worked its way down into New Mexico! |
We found these beauties all over a boulder field, hiding the the nooks and crannies. |
We saw a lot of this and I'm thinking it is a kind of draba or rockcress; I'm sure my research assistant will start digging for me. |
Red Clover? |
something in the sunflower family |
White Phlox with a tint of lavender; it smelled like lilacs blooming. |
clumps of this spilled down the scree slope |
Rose root; King's Crown; in some places it was a foot tall! |
close up of Roseroot |
a variety of Gooseberry |
a variety of saxifrage that Lynn and I also saw in Waterton |
Since we are on the road and internet access is limited, that's all I can share today. Til we meet again.
