Wildflower Paradise

I love wildflowers. I go on driving trips just to see them and take pictures of them. I had no idea that the North Rim of the Grand Canyon would be a wildflower paradise, but they are everywhere up here. If you drive slower than the speed limit you will be able to see tons of them. Whenever I drive anywhere it makes me think of easter, with all the pastel colors on the roadsides and in the meadows. Here are just a few of them:


Asters



Daisies

Thistle

Don't know what this one is called but it is pretty.

Oh how envious I am of you and FabGrampa! We've talked about what you are doing for years! We met a couple yrs ago...taking care of a park in WA...we always thought we'd like to do that when we got to our age now! What a great life!
And love the wildflowers!
