The girls and I spent another week in the mountains and most of our walks were in the meadows. Other trails are exposed and too hot for Sky and there is no water. But the meadows are lush, green, damp and there are some ponds and a stream for them to cool their feet. Lots of trails through the meadows too. They didn’t mind my slow movements as I photographed the flowers. Sky picked and ate huckleberries while Willow found sticks and tossed them in the water.
A few wildflowers and garden flowers and dogs too.
This week’s weather has been less than desirable. I suppose I should not complain about the rain and I don’t mind that too much but it’s also been darned cold and when it’s not raining, the wind is blowing. Last week was warm and pleasant and I managed to get a few images from the garden. With all the rain, the garden is looking much different now!
This Pine Siskin was obsessed with our dandelions. We have a good crop this year.

So far, the deer don’t eat columbine, knock on wood.

We are eating radishes and greens from the fenced, vegetable garden now
June showers bring? June flowers? Well maybe a few more days of green hillsides in the Methow. Also good conditions for garden photos.
