Among the Wildflowers 4

I didn't get out once last week. No backpacking or camping. No fishing or day hiking. It was a slow week in the world of outdoor adventuring. Its funny but now when I have those slow weeks, I feel guilty, like I'm not doing enough. I tell myself, "Its just a week", but it doesn't work. I cant shake the feeling that I'm cheating myself. So for today's blog a mix of flowers seen on the trail in the last month or so. Enjoy.

White Tackstem

Engelmanns Hedgehog

Not sure what these are. Any takers?

Among The Wilfdfowers 3

The amount and variety of wildflowers in the desert right now is incredible. I've shot so many flowers in the last couple weeks, and I wanted to share some with you. The top 3 shots were taken at Bartlett Lake. The last shot was near Cave Creek.

Hollowleaf Annual Lupine

Cant ID this one. Any takers?

Desert Marigold

Richardson' Geranium (among California Poppies)

Among The Wildflowers 2

I guess this is the month of sequels. Everyone seemed to like the first go-round of Among The Wildflowers. These flowers were all found in Idaho except the Daisies, which I found in Arizona. If you think I've given the wrong name to any of these, please feel free to correct me. Enjoy.

Rocky Mountain Butterweed
 My favorite thing about this shot is that you can see Glidden Lake in the background.

Shrubby Penstemon

I think these are Daisies, yeah?

I couldn't put my finger on this one. I think it may be a knotweed. Any takers?
