Yesterday was our sixth wedding anniversary! To celebrate, we hiked to our wedding spot and then on to Aspen Lake. It was a gloriously warm morning – we are finally getting nice weather. The wildflowers are at the peak of their bloom. Yes, it really was that vibrant. Bird song filled the air.

That’s the spot where we stood.

And here we are again.

Lots of blue larkspur

All of this burned in 2015 but except for dead shrubs, you can’t tell.

Sky celebrated with many jumps in the lake.

This yellow flower is arnica

This yellow flower is a lomatium

Most of these yellow flowers are balsamroot

Spring happened while we were gone. The hills are green and tiny wildflowers are in full bloom. Some of the bigger flowers have started blooming too. Luna and I try get out at least once everyday for a walk although some days, like today, it’s not as pleasant and certainly with the high winds it’s not a good day for photographs. Here are a few from the last week or so.

Yellow bells

Contemplative Luna

Delicate prairie stars

Bluebells

This is a new flower for me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.

Dave Sabold says “Arabis holboellii – but NOT the flowers! The flowers come later on a stalk, and they’re white in color, not yellow. A fungus produces the yellow color, and the fungus even puts out a sweet smell. Maybe the fungus attracts insects to distribute the spores?”
