Even though I arrived on the Bighorns in mid-July, there was still a plethora of wonderful wildflowers.

Monday walk…around the lake 2

We’ve made it halfway around the lake. Let’s finish that walk. Bring your cameras and relax. We ended the first part of our walk with a lupine photo, but I love them, so here’s another.
A wet spring also puts fungus amung us. 🙂 This one is beautiful but deadly and there were quite a few of these around. Although poisonous, the amanita muscaria has been used as a hallucinogen as well as for other purposes. Click the link to read more, but I prefer to simply admire, not eat.
Friday flowers…invasive beauty

These small, bright beauties, called “pinks” by the people I know in Wyoming, are evidently some sort of invasive flower. However, seeing a hillside of them is breath-taking.
(As usual in my search of online data bases of wildflowers, I can’t find this one anywhere, so if you know what it is, please feel free to mention it in the comments.)
The front yard

The “front yard” of our cabin is a space defined by poles, only there so that when the horses come in from pasture in the morning or go out at night, theyh don’t trample everything right around the cabin or rub against the cabin. Long horizontal poles are attached to shorter vertical poles, fitting well with the surroundings. This year, because it was spring and had been wet, there were plenty of flowers in our natural “garden”, many of them lupine. Purple and white was the major color scheme.
Friday (wild) flowers

A wet spring means lots of wildflowers and I immensely enjoyed the beauty of them this trip. Of course the setting didn’t hurt either.
Friday flowers…mountain high

If we’d been at the cabin a week earlier, there might have been no riding and not much outdoor activity, as it was rainy with low-hanging fog. Fortunately, the week our older daughter, her fiancé, and his parents were there, the weather was excellent. The next week when I was at the “phone booth” (a high ridge where I can get phone reception), I took this photo of some of the many wildflowers flourishing in the wet spring.
