More from the Dog Lake Hike (post below)

 Tons of sweet peas. 

 Is there anything more sweet and delicate?

 Flowers, flowers, flowers

 This is a repeat of above, but blogger won't let me remove 'just one' picture, so look again!  It's pretty!

 The variety was amazing

 White columbine, pretty enough to frame

 Almost blinding yellow.  Below is the beautiful stream, again blogger isn't cooperating with a caption ability! 

Beautiful butterflies were flitting around, and the birds were singing.  Surprisingly, mainly robins.

There were dozens of different kinds of wildflowers

Many of them GIANT sized

I loved this:  A puffball of a flower.

We wanted to hike the 'circle' around, but got a bit lost.  One lady had a map and said, "Take a picture", so I did.

 On the way out of the canyon search and rescue were there rescuing a couple that got lost!  Glad it wasn't us!

Huge variety of shapes and sizes of leaves and flowers.

So many flowers, they even grew down the trail
