amazing color if you just get close enough to look
bow glacier falls
the river was in its spring flood stage and was high and fast the whole way up. part of the trail was under water and we had to scramble along the cliff beside where it should have been.
a little way down from the falls the blue water from the falls flowed into the silty water flowing down the other valley (from the glacier as well but on the other side of the ridge) it took a while for the waters to completely merge, so for a while the colors remained distinct.
a picture taken at the base of the falls about 1/3 of the way up. i know that doesn’t make a lot of sense but i climbed up as high as i could, right beside the falls and then took a picture of what was still above me. if you’d like to see a picture of the whole falls just head over to my flicker and it’s the next picture after this one.
glorious colors
i couldn’t resist trying to capture the vivid reds and greens of the alpine flower against the cool gray of the rocks
bergamot and bumblebees
bergamot
sticky purple geranium
glorious purple wildflowers attract more attention than just mine
growing thru the fence
are the fences to keep us out… or the flowers in?

uncommon beauty
