PICTURE THIS PHOTO CONTEST, ON THE ROAD AGAIN

This month's gardening contest, hosted by Gardening Gone Wild, asks us to share a photo from our travels. My camera is never far from my pocket when I am traveling and my eye is constantly drawn to every flower along the roadside and on every hike.

"On the road again" That's where we are right now and have been for several weeks. I am posting this from the campsite. Wifi! amazing.
Choosing an image was no easy task, especially when it came to ones with native flowers. In the end I chose this one, taken in the Sawtooth mountains of Idaho, where this year, a late spring gave us the opportunity to hike among splendid wildflowers. Close to my heart, as a Texan, this clump of lupins growing at 9ooo' Their fragrance was wonderful.

Apologies to this nearby Indian paintbrush.
