Hi All,

Our second ten years got off to a great start. We drove north to the Pilgrim Creek area for some flower photography.

The lupine was lush and dense



and created a lovely foreground for the lake and mountain.


The arrow-leaf balsam root is also in bloom


and it too sets off the mountains behind.


After a picnic lunch we drove to the Rockefeller Preserve and hiked to Phelps Lake.


On the hike back from the lake we spotted this mule deer doe with two fawns. Mom stared at us briefly, decided we were not a threat and went back to nursing and licking her kids.

The day also brought us sightings of moose, grizzly bear and a wandering garter snake (that's the species name not the behavior ;-).

Love,

Sandy & Carl
