for nanny




these are the lupines i mentioned in the comment response. unfortunately i didn't take any other pictures of what's blooming--oops. isa actually recognized the lupines from our front yard. we have two new ones we planted this year and have been babying them as they start to bloom. we told isa that they are "baby flowers" and that we need to be extra gentle with them. so when she saw these she said, "babies! babies!"
there were lots of other beautiful wildflowers too, thanks to the wet spring: indian paintbrush, spring beauties, mule's ear sunflowers, et al. the bottom picture was our camp spot. the tent is just out of view to the bottom right. one of the best things about this area is that there is so much land that you can totally avoid established campgrounds (and loud neighbors) and just pull off anywhere you see fit. which means you can usually get a nice little view, along with your peace and quiet!

  2. Your campsite was beautiful. You all are dressed pretty warm.. Was it that cool? Wow. Wildflowers are always so fun to see growing in the wild. If you try to grow them seems, they don't like being forced to grow somewhere else..lol Lots like people, I guess. Glad you had a great weekend.
