Wildflower season is on the wane, but we found some nice patches this past week.

Still a bit of fireweed color on a foothills bike ride today, but other than the occasional aster or cinquefoil, that's going to be pretty much it for 2024 Alberta wildflower displays.

That was Austria

But I was thinking the same thing when I took the shot.

The hot pink paintbrush scattered among the pale yellow columbine is wonderful. Among the bright yellow and purple is wonderful, too.

After a winter that was both warmer and dryer than average, the pasque flowers (aka prairie crocus) have popped up very early this year, adding splashes of colour to the brown hillsides below our neighbourhood.

Riding and hiking on balsamroot covered hillsides near Kimberley, BC last week.

I will not even attempt to name these... all from last weekend.

There is more than flowers in this photo.

Flowers from around home. Because I am great at gardening and yardwork (not).

Instead of hiking today, I am recovering. Hahaha
The desert is in full bloom.

@regehr I do not think I was exactly in the magical time before the outrageous bugs in the Uintas...
However, I had a few days of wonderful lower elevation truck camping.

The lady at Bear River Lodge's general store said the bugs had not been bad yet, so maybe the bugs haven't hit. Maybe I was just lucky.

Only a handful of mosquitoes would attack in late morning and early evening, and then disappear. We made a steak dinner one night, and the flies massed out of nowhere, but otherwise it was quite pleasant -bug wise-. It was worse Sunday morning than previous mornings as we packed up.

The flowers are doing very well.
