Stop and Smell the Wildflowers

I stopped by Shell Creek early Sunday morning to view the flowers. Perhaps the colors are not as bright as a week ago, but the variety of flowers is wonderful. And most folks, focussed on the fields of yellow and gold, drive by some of the more spectacular but less prolific blooms. Like the tall purple thistle sage along the creek bank, or the chia (another sage) on a rocky road cut. The Owl's Clover is blooming, but how many stop to see the little owls? The air was scented with lupine, and the cool pre-storm wind was refreshing. So get out, stretch you legs, and enjoy this year's flower display!
