A Time for Everything

 Just as most of the wildflowers are calling it a season and the prairies are pulling on their coats of gold, one unobtrusive plant is making its first stand of the year. The Arctic Gentian is a beautiful flower that takes over the Beartooth tundra in late August and early September.

The first photo shows the plants getting ready to bloom.


 From the top.
There is a sea of the white and purple-blue blooms that will remain on the ground for the next few weeks.



I started back to college this week. I am working toward my 5th degree - this one in commercial photography. My posts will, no doubt, be less consistently regular but I hope my shared photos will improve in quality over time.

It is interesting being back in class after 20 years - especially when everyone there is about 35 years my junior! So far I have been welcomed with friendliness and not a little bit of curiosity. I am looking forward to this two year journey!

    I love the wildflowers. I'm looking forward to getting back out there in a couple of weeks to catch the fall round in the mountains here.

    Good luck with your new collage endeavor! I've hired a few commercial photographers in my former life and in watching them work - there is definitely an art to their work.

    Hi Kathy,

    I'm Dee P.'s sister and I love your photos. I backpacked on the East Rosebud Trail in '05 and '06 with our local high school science club and I loved it! Thanks for posting your pics.
