Daisies and foxgloves line the edge of a mountain path. Snowcapped peaks can be seen in the distance.
I've walked this path a hundred times, but never tire of the view.

This same stray cat keeps showing up at our place. Think I should leave some food out for it?

American Alpine Speedwell (Veronica wormskjoldii) growing in the wet section of our native garden. It's such a tiny plant, as you can see from the ant, but I love the little blossoms.

This is Tweedy's Lewsia getting ready to bloom in my rock garden. This plant has a limited range and its native conditions are not at all what we have where I am, so I'm pretty proud of getting it to grow here.
