Wildflower Hunt

This weekend we drove up Francis Peak and hunted for wildflowers. Okay ~ the family enjoyed the drive and I hunted for wildflowers. There were so many blooming and it is definitely spring time on top of the mountain. It was a beautiful day.

<-- ~ Glacier Lily ~
This my very favorite wild flower. They are short lived with beautiful nodding heads and blanket the forest floor in the early spring.
