Found Them

After what I can describe only as a very interesting, very challenging day, I took some time to look for wildflowers of the uncommon nature late this afternoon.

Pasqueflowers are some of the first wildflowers to emerge in the spring. Sometimes pasqueflowers can be found while there is still snow on the ground, but thankfully not this year! Pasqueflowers were my target species for today. After a drive and a hike I found many blossoms soaking up today’s warm sunshine.

Following is a sampling of images of this pretty wildflower. I promised not to share the location, so please do not ask.
