Looking at wildflowers. In July we visited my Dad in Del Norte, Colorado, and made a day trip into the San Juan Mountains that are just south of Dad's house. We hiked up to the saddle of Greyback Mountain and were hanging out and eating snacks when Laura decided she wanted to go to the top. So, we followed behind her as she charged up to the top, like a mountain goat. When I caught up to her I could hear her humming as she scrambled over boulders....

Laura found one of my favorite alpine flowers, forget-me-nots.

Summit of Greyback Mountain, San Juan Mountains, Colorado! The cool thing about their first peak is that we can easily see Greyback from my dad's kitchen window.
