August 2
Box Elder
Walking up Box Elder in search of readjustment, goats and wildflowers.
Greeted by a doe at the trailhead.
The lower trail has been pounded by horses and it's kinda boring till the meadow
Columbine and lupine reside on the shady north face.
Nettleleaf horsemint
little sunflowers
and jacob ladder are prolific
wrapping the west face.
Snowfield on Timp lingers
for the turns all year crowd(at least for August).
Goat viewing is difficult. Skittish as hell. Most of the stickseed...
is in the socks.
A monument flower
on the shoulder. Stonecrops of several
varieties?
on the upper ridges.
I had to be cautious because aliens lurk
in the penstemons.
A showy dasy anna
Utah county on the way back down.
